Setting Our 2015-2017 Agenda We hosted a series of listening sessions across the region to develop our next three-year strategy to improve the region's economy and quality of life. In every session, we asked participants what would make our region the "best place" to be and where the Allegheny Conference could make the biggest difference. Workforce and demographics stood out as the top issue of concern. Transportation and connectivity was a close second – defined broadly – roads and bridges, public transit and bike trails. BY THE NUMBERS: 1,000 + Participants 51 Group sessions across all 10 counties in the region 90 % Percentage of Regional Investors Council organizations that participated in our agenda-setting process Almost 100 civic leaders participated in our benchmarking trip to Denver, Colorado to learn what another on-the-move region is up to. Feedback from the trip provided important insight for the creation of our 2015-2017 agenda. | A L L E G H E N Y C O N F E R E N C E O N C O M M U N I T Y D E V E L O P M E N T | 2 0 1 4 A N N U A L R E P O R T | 21
