Welcome to the 2009 Regional Summit website. In lieu of hosting an in-person summit this year, we have created this new website to update you on how we are working with our community partners to enhance our region.
Please take a few minutes to read about these initiatives and how they align with the five goals of Wright State’s strategic plan. Then tell us what you think by posting a comment or asking a question. Keep the dialogue going by sharing stories with your friends and colleagues.
