RPA's 19th Annual Regional Assembly took place on
Friday, April 17th. Nearly six hundred participants packed the Waldorf-Astoria
for a thought-provoking day of keynotes, panel discussions and workshops.
There were many highlights: New York Governor Paterson awarding Richard Ravitch with RPA Lifetime Leadership Award, remarks from Port Authority Executive Director and 2009 Regional Assembly Chair Christopher Ward, keynote addresses from Moody's Chief Economist Mark Zandi on the outlook for the economy and Pennsylvania Governor Edward G. Rendell on stimulus and infrastructure spending, a provoking plenary panel led by Washington Post editorial writer Jonathan Capehart and featuring U.S. Senator Robert Menendez and five excellent panels about how to address economic impacts facing key areas of the region and nation.
Over the coming week, we will be releasing more information from the day's proceedings, including audio recordings, photos, presentations and more. In the meantime, get a taste of the day from our live twitter feed.
