Thank you for all that you do. I wish you and your families a restful, joyful, and meaningful Thanksgiving holiday.

  This month’s newsletter is packed with insights shaping the North Bay’s future — from the economy and housing to childcare and transportation. Susan Gilmore spotlights why early childhood education is crucial to our region’s long-term success, while highlights from the State of the North Bay Economic Conference reveal the regions challenges and spotlight key opportunites. Urban planner Bill Fulton explains what a “Place Bubble” is and how to recognize one in your community. We also share the latest transportation update on the Highway 37 and offer you a survey to share your thoughts on tolling and preview upcoming events, including the release of the 2025 State of Housing Report and launch of the Housing for Healthy Communities Initiative. Finally, we’re pleased to welcome our newest member, the Petaluma River Park Foundation, to our growing network of regional leaders.

Have a happy and safe Halloween.
