A One-Of-A-Kind Virtual Event
The Future is Local: UNITE at the RIEP Forum
Since RIEP’s founding Forum in 2019, our organization has been actively promoting and providing solutions for self-reliant, sustainable communities where economic benefits circulate within the region and social benefit is a key economic indicator.
Six years later, we are hosting our fifth Forum, bringing together leaders in our local communities that are creating and championing innovative solutions that celebrate our Forum theme: Adaptation - Innovation - Resilience
Times such as these are a powerful reminder of the importance of regional collaboration and the necessity of supporting small business and community-based organizations. We must look to one-another for inspiration and ingenuity as we build a just economy that provides for the dignified livelihoods we all deserve.
Our 2025 Virtual Forum promises to elevate the many voices that will help to shape a positive vision of our collective futures.
Our strength lies in our capacity to build our social capital and
to strengthen our community connections with each other!
