Competing in a global economic environment takes leadership, a great game plan and a great team. The Highlands Initiative has provided those key ingredients for our region over the past six years. And the results so far have been outstanding. But the game is not over. In fact, it’s just beginning.

Our Highlands Steering Committee continues to lay the groundwork for a competitive economic advantage in our region for decades to come. It is critical work that will bring higher-paying, more technical jobs to our communities and prepare our workforce for a brighter future.

None of this would be possible without the partners and investors in our Highlands Initiative. With their insights, service and financial support, they have created a fantastic foundation. One that we plan to build on for years — 100 to be exact.

We call it The Century Club – 100 investors who are helping us plan and prepare for the next 100 years. It is an ambitious, but invaluable, goal. And it’s one that we hope you will join us in achieving.
