17th Regional Assembly Wrap-up

Regional Plan Association's 17th Annual Regional Assembly, A Bright and Green Future, held at the Waldorf-Astoria this past Friday, May 4, had record attendance, an extraordinary collection of speakers, and a remarkable sense of energy and purpose. Over 600 leaders from the civic, business, and policymaking communities came together to discuss strategies for balancing the region's energy security, competitiveness, and continued growth, with the need to mitigate the impacts of climate change. Assembly presentations and transcripts will be posted on the web in the coming weeks. We hope you will find the material insightful and join us for many more exciting events in the coming year.
