COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS: BUILDING WYOMING’S FUTURE

The WBC is hosting a series of essential community conversations exploring Wyoming’s biggest economic growth opportunities and discussing practical steps needed to secure a thriving, resilient future for generations to come.

These conversations are vital for everyone in our Team of Thousands – local leaders, business owners, students exploring opportunities to stay in Wyoming, and dedicated citizens – who want to play a direct role in building a thriving, resilient future for generations to come.

REGISTER NOW FOR OUR NEXT CONVERSATION IN THE SERIES
Join us for another engaging virtual forum – “Building Wyoming’s Future: Infrastructure as the Foundation” – exploring how Wyoming must have the bedrock in place to support community and business growth, and capture the generational opportunities in energy and technology.

Tune in Wednesday, Jan. 28, 2026, at Noon MST

MOBILIZING THE TEAM OF THOUSANDS

JOIN A JAC WATCH PARTY – THURSDAY, DEC. 4, 2025

The Wyoming Business Council believes that building a more resilient, prosperous, and sustainable economic landscape requires informed, collective action. That’s the Team of Thousands philosophy.

We invite you to participate in a crucial step of the legislative budget process by joining a statewide JAC Watch Party. This is your chance to:

Observe the Vision: See the WBC present its Vision for a More Resilient Wyoming Future to the Joint Appropriations Committee and learn about the strategic investments and “big bets” needed to reverse economic decline and retain our talented youth.
Organize Locally: Connect with fellow citizens and community leaders who are ready to work together to understand the process.
Learn to Engage: Get the tools to share your vision with decision-makers.

Change is a team sport. Find a watch party near you and commit to shaping Wyoming’s future through participation and awareness.

Date: Thursday, December 4th Time: 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM RSVP: wbc.pub/JAC_WatchParty
