• Convene regional conversations among community leaders and citizens from public, private and non-profit sectors to address major challenges facing communities.
• Evaluate possible solutions for addressing community challenges and discuss best practices.
• Provide regions with access to resources, technology, and expertise in the creation of solutions to regional problems.
• Provide ongoing consultation among regional leaders through the Bowen Center for Public Affairs at Ball State University.
