Chamber News

ChamberTalks October 24

We’ve all seen the stories about the high cost of housing in Massachusetts and the outmigration of young talent currently occurring. What does this mean for our communities and businesses? What can be done about it? We’ve gathered a group of experts to help us understand what’s driving these changes and what we can do in our region to remain competitive going forward.

Following the program, we will gather for cocktails and hors d’oeuvres and an opportunity to meet the speakers, ask questions and network with others. 

Panelists:
Doug Howgate, President, Mass. Taxpayers Foundation  
Rachel Heller, CEO Community Housing and Planning Association (CHAPA)  
Jill Rossetti, Superintendent of Blue Hills Regional Technical School  
Greg Bunn, Executive Director of the Metro South/West Workforce Investment Board
Paige Duncan, Foxborough Town Manager

Speaking topics include:

  • Outmigration
  • Local impact of new migrants
  • High cost of housing
  • Highest inflation in the country
  • Changing education/work demographics
  • Need for skilled trades workers

Thomas Rourke

President and CEO
