Thank you to all the speakers, sponsors, and attendees who participated in the 2020 Assembly!
Every year, we convene nearly 1,000 policy experts, public officials, and business leaders for a one-day conference to debate bold solutions for the tri-state metropolitan region’s most pressing challenges: addressing climate change, promoting inclusive growth, and developing transportation systems that work for all of us. But in response to the COVID-19 crisis, RPA Assembly went virtual in 2020. Free and open to the public, the 30th annual Assembly featured a series of online panels, featured speakers, and interviews addressing the immediate and long term effects of COVID-19 on our regional health, economy and infrastructure.
