AGRICULTURE COUNCIL UPDATE
Thank you for your continued interest in myTRI 2030. The monthly subscriber update spotlights one of the six Opportunity Area Councils (Agriculture, Education, Energy, Life, Inclusion, or Prosperity). This month, the Agriculture Council, co-chaired by Leslie Druffel and Lindsey Williams, shares how they are driving action and shaping the future of our region.
The myTRI Ag Council has set some priorities and is looking forward to reaching some milestones. In Spring of 2022, the Video Project Team will be working to record several videos illustrating the many career opportunities in agriculture in the region. These videos will be in both English and Spanish, and represent both direct agriculture career options as well as ancillary career options. Columbia Basin College and Washington State University Tri-Cities Campus are leading the project, and have identified funding for this outreach opportunity. 

Longer term, the council is developing plans, in partnership with the other myTri councils and several external partners, for an Innovation Center that demonstrates the pioneering nature of our communities. While the vision of this Center is still being developed, we are excited by the interest and thought-investment already made. 

If you know someone, or are someone, who is passionate about agriculture and community involvement, please connect with us! We are looking forward to building our council with new individuals and new ideas. We meet monthly, generate ideas, develop project teams, connect with the community, and are working toward some GRAND ideas. If you are interested in any ideas noted here, please be in touch! We are always looking for new partners who want to invest their time and talent in myTRI 2030. 
Based on the belief that our collective future is enhanced through collaboration, myTRI 2030 is a regional visioning initiative with the fundamental goal to engage the community, create a shared vision for the region, and drive collaborative action.

myTRI 2030 celebrates the Tri-Cities as the sum of multiple, distinct and independent parts, yet will provide a unified strategy for the future.

What makes myTRI 2030 unique, is the thoughtful and inclusive steps taken to build broad community support for both the process and the impending product.
Thank you for your continued interest in the progress of the myTRI 2030 Regional Vision Project. Your support is the key to success. For more information, or to get involved, go to www.mytri2030.com.
