The Annual Higher Education and Research Leadership Summit is the opportunity for the Presidents and Institutions that are members of the Monterey County Business Council's Higher Education and Research Competitive Cluster to showcase their upcoming collaborations and projects as well as highlight the economic impact of Education and Research in the Monterey Bay region with the public release of an economic impact report. Accordingly, attendees can expect insights from, and the opportunity to network with, leading officials from Cal State University Monterey Bay (CSUMB), University of California Santa Cruz, Monterey Peninsula College, Hartnell College, Monterey College of Law, the Middlebury Institute of International Studies at Monterey, Defense Language Institute, Naval Postgraduate School, and others.

Come learn about important research projects and collaborations, including an update on the Bright Futures Cradle-to-Career initiative in which regional partners are working together to ensure that every child is prepared for school, succeeds in and out of the classroom, completes a post-high school credential and enters a promising career. Attend and discover how you can help this crucial effort for our community. View a video about bright futures HERE

"As an educator, I have found the Annual Higher Education & Research Summit to be an incredibly valuable event that has become a fixture on my calendar. It brings together the regional business, government and educational thought leaders that are working to transform our region and who understand the critical role education plays in creating more vibrant, sustainable communities.”
