Building Wyoming’s Future: Community Conversations

WBC Wants to Hear from You

Wyoming’s economic future doesn’t get decided in Cheyenne. This summer, WBC is holding community conversations across the state – in person and virtually – to hear directly from business owners, community leaders, and residents about what’s working, what’s in the way, and what role WBC should play in moving Wyoming forward. No presentations. No agenda to push. Just honest questions and space to answer them.

Building Wyoming’s Future: Housing as critical Infrastructure

Housing as Critical Infrastructure

Wyoming is hitting a ceiling. We have businesses ready to expand, energy projects attracting investment, and communities that want to grow – but workers can’t find a place to live. And our young people are leaving and not coming back.

That’s not a social issue. That’s an economic infrastructure issue.

On June 2, the WBC is hosting an Open Mic to have the honest conversation Wyoming needs: what does the housing shortage actually cost us – in jobs, in growth, in the young people who can’t make a life here?

Join our CEO, Josh Dorrell, and a panel of local leaders, developers, employers, and community members for an unscripted discussion.

🗓️ Tuesday, June 2 | Noon MST
💻 Register: wbc.pub/BWF_Housing

This isn’t a presentation. No slide decks. It’s a candid conversation – and your voice is part of it.

Ask questions. Share your story. Spread the word. Tell us what the ceiling looks like from where you stand.

Previous session recordings available here.

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

Building Wyoming’s Future: The Exit Interview

Wyoming leads the nation in exporting its greatest resource: our children. With 60% to 70% of our youth leaving the state by age 30, we are facing an existential threat to our families and our future. Join the Wyoming Business Council, ENGAGE, and WyoFile for a candid “Exit Interview” to hear directly from young Wyomingites. This isn’t a panel of experts talking about young people; it’s an authentic dialogue featuring those who stayed, those who left, and those weighing their options today.

Whether you are a parent, employer, or policymaker, this conversation is a vital step for the Team of Thousands to move beyond assumptions and listen to the voices that will shape our state’s tomorrow. Your participation will help inform critical policy discussions ahead of the legislative session and ensure we are building a Wyoming where the next generation can thrive.

Tune in Thursday, Feb. 5, 2026, at Noon MST
