Advocacy

Public-private collaboration and joint leadership is imperative to the state's and region's ability to successfully compete in the global marketplace.  The Partnership's work advocating on behalf of the 495/MetroWest region is critical, not only to addressing our infrastructure needs but also to ensuring that our region has a voice in larger policy deliberations. 

To do so, the Partnership provides a unique opportunity for the region's diverse constituencies, interests, and leaders to meet and forge consensus on the major challenges confronting the region.  As a result, our public and private sector leaders have benefited from this honest exchange of ideas and perspectives across ideological boundaries.

These activities cut across all of our initiatives; see below for some recent examples of our advocacy efforts.
