Beginning in January and running through April, the National League of Cities, in partnership with the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU) and the National Governors Association (NGA) will host a four-part webinar series exploring how Innovation and Economic Prosperity (IEP)-designated public universities, cities and states are teaming up to drive talent development, promote regional innovation and create healthy, vibrant local economies.

While many partnerships are essential to the economic engagement of public research universities, partnerships with mayors and governors are especially impactful. Aligning efforts across local, state and university resources contributes powerfully to spurring economic development and resilience in communities.

Join us for the third installment of this webinar series to hear our panel of experts discuss how to foster community resilience through creative placemaking.
