Jefferson Forum

The Thomas Jefferson Institute’s Business Leaders Roundtable on Virginia’s Economic Future, held June 22 at George Mason University, gathered together some of the top analysts to review the outlook for Virginia’s economy, an analysis of the state’s key industries, the obstacles standing in the way of growth, and the policy changes that should be considered. The event included cosponsorship from more than 20 state business associations — the largest collection of business associations ever gathered for a conference of this kind. Moderated by former Congressman Tom Davis, the roundtable attracted more than 150 participants.
