This convening is part of a statewide series introducing the Strategic Plan for Cultural Resilience, Economic Growth, and Global Leadership and gathering community input. Representatives from the Creative Economy Workgroup, the CAC, and local leaders will share updates, followed by Q&A and breakout discussions exploring the plan’s local impact.
