POLICY WATCH – January 2026
Like all of you, we’ve been following the recent news and recognizing how deeply current events are impacting people and communities nationwide. It’s hard to ignore. Regardless of personal beliefs or political views, there are moments that call on us to pause as people, employers, and community leaders. Lives are being lost, families are being affected, and uncertainty is felt across communities. These realities matter not only on a human level, but because stability, trust, and safety are essential to a functioning economy and a strong workforce.
POLICY WATCH – December 2025
As we close out 2025, from all of us at North Bay Leadership Council, I want to take a moment to wish you and your families a very happy holiday season. This time of year, offers a welcome opportunity to reflect on the progress we’ve made together and to express my sincere gratitude for the commitment, leadership, and partnerships that make the North Bay Leadership Council’s work possible.
