    America 2050: Building The Next Economy

    Waldorf=Astoria

    Things changed last year. We moved to a different economy and a different president. As the years unfold, 2008 may be remembered as a pivotal one, like 1929, 1941 or 1968, where times changed, and the country grappled with those changes either successfully or unsuccessfully.

    Our region’s leaders can—and have previously – helped guide America through such challenging times. This year’s Regional Assembly will be a part of making that happen. On Friday, April 17 at the Waldorf=Astoria, the Regional Plan Association will host the 19th annual Regional Assembly, titled “America 2050: Building the Next Economy,” a full day of workshops, conversation and collaboration with the goal of building consensus and understanding solutions to repair our tattered economy.
