Share Your Thoughts on the Vision for the Future of our Region

For the past four years, the Regional Indicators Dashboard has provided a set of shared metrics that track the greater MSP region’s performance on critical economic, environmental and social outcomes. These metrics help regional leaders understand areas where the region is improving and areas that require additional attention. Now that we have shared metrics, we need to create a bold, shared VISION for the future of this region. We are asking for your help in shaping this vision, because your voice is important to our future. Please provide your thoughts and ideas in response to ANY or ALL of the three questions below, BY TUESDAY, JUNE 26.
 

TWO MAIN ELEMENTS OF AN EFFECTIVE VISION:

1. Who we are (our core identity), which grounds our region’s future in the enduring values and strengths that we want to bring with us into the future and ensures that our new vision is distinctive to us, differentiating our region from “Anyplace, USA.” 

2. Where we want to go (our mind’s picture of the future), which represents our hopes, what’s important and what we want to create together.
