Governing looks forward to returning to Boston in November for the 2016 Massachusetts Leadership Forum. The Commonwealth has achieved important progress in the recent years, investing in local ecosystems to attract economic development and help propel future innovation and job growth as well as making great strides towards becoming a national leader in energy efficiency.
