October 20, 2011 - Shaping the Future of the Washington Metro Area
The growth trends of the Washington metro area make clear that now is the time to work together to forge a regional strategy. The process must be inclusive and involve business, public sector, civic leaders, academia, non-profit groups and other experts. Our speaker, Robert E. Buchanan, serves as president of the 2030 group. The 2030 Group was formed to serve as a catalyst for this conversation, by helping leaders identify and meet the challenges to the metropolitan Washington area’s long-term prosperity and sustainable growth, and to seize the opportunities that will ensure the region’s vibrancy for future generations. The 2030 Group and its advisory committee are comprised of involved business and academic leaders, many of whom have multi-generational ties across Washington.
