Description:
In our third Conversations with Leaders event of 2019, we'll be discussing the RVA-Hampton Roads Megaregion Collaborative. Speaker Tom Frantz, Partner at Williams Mullen and Co-chair of the Richmond-Hampton Roads Megaregion Collaborative (Collaborative info here), will outline the reasoning and targets for the Collaborative, the timeline for the project, and what everyone can do to help further the initiative.
In a rapidly changing global economy, boundaries are constantly evolving. Networks of large metropolitan regions are emerging all over the United States and around the world. Some of these “megaregions” are now intentionally collaborating to compete for economic development – giving them an advantage over others. The Richmond MSA and Hampton Roads MSA are primed to join this cohort of megaregions and an inclusive, mutually supportive network of community, business and higher education leaders have organized to further that goal.
5:30 - 7:30 PM on Wednesday, October 16th
