𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟱 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴—𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗿? Our region is standing on the edge of major transformation. But here’s the catch: big opportunities require smart policies. At last week’s 2025 Advocacy Agenda Rollout, we brought together key policymakers and private sector leaders to map out how to turn potential into progress. As BNP President Dottie Gallagher put it, “Our agenda is the private sector’s blueprint for advancing the economy and the fortunes of all residents.” The future’s looking bright, but we’ve got more work to do—and we want you at the table.
