Jefferson Forum’s 1607 Roundtable is designed specifically to give leaders the intelligence they need on governance, the outlet they want to affect policy, the opening to offer in-the-trenches feedback only they can provide, and even ideas on improving the business environment in their communities. Designed as both a sounding board dialogue and a donor-specific coalition, the 1607 Roundtable gives business leaders the opportunity to become more deeply involved, cross pollinate ideas, report to policy makers what issues are bubbling up, and fight for the growth and well-being of the Commonwealth we all care about.
The 1607 Roundtable meets quarterly in each of five Virginia regions: Southwest, Hampton Roads, Northern Virginia, Richmond, and Shenandoah. Comfortable environs, food and drink, and access to policy makers are the perfect ingredients for a business coalition focused on taxes, energy, labor, and education—precisely the issues Jefferson Forum addresses.
