With seven counties, 86 cities, thousands of business and community leaders, and millions of concerned residents, how can myregion.org effectively help Central Florida organize to create a better future? By setting clear goals and objectives, we can give regional leaders the roadmap they need to move our region into tomorrow.

Our Key Initiatives:
Create the common framework for regional dialogue
Evaluate the challenges and opportunities of our region
Prepare leaders within our region
Five core values:
Inclusion: The development of a regional framework is dependant upon participation at every level. Inclusive representation of profession, background, gender, race, geography, thought and action will insure success.
Partnerships: Regionalism is the triumph of cooperation over competition. Collaborative partnerships have proven successful because they recognize and maximize the strengths and expertise of every participant.
Regional Thinking: In the new millennium, technology has virtually erased the traditional boundaries of doing business. "Location" no longer ensures profitability. The Central Florida Region must be able to respond effectively and efficiently to the demands of the global marketplace.
Exploration & Discovery: A common knowledge base of community assets across the seven-county region will enable leaders to set aside parochial priorities in order to address critical challenges and visualize opportunities for the future.
Consensus Building: One of the most important components of myregion is the opportunity to build relationships and provide a "safe" environment for dialogue and debate. These discussions will build a comprehensive understanding of the competitive realities facing the region and the need for integrated thinking and regional action.
