myregion.org, a regional development program, is a three-year effort designed to engage community leaders across a seven-county region (Brevard, Lake, Orange, Osceola, Polk, Seminole and Volusia) in developing a common framework for thought and action to ensure Central Florida's success in the global marketplace.

The purpose of myregion.org's e-newsletter is to keep the public involved and informed in the happenings of the project. Sent out every other Wednesday, each issue of the newsletter is designed to highlight one of 13 "essential activities;" which are community hot topics. As you read the e-newsletter you'll be educated on the project with informative articles about our region and the impact the myregion.org project is having on it. You'll also be introduced to members of the myregion.org Leadership Council, as well as the organizations responsible for funding this important project. In addition, you'll find links to the myregion.org Web site, the myregion.org project timeline and a trivia question about our region's most famous and historical landmarks. For more information or to subscribe to the myregion.org e-newsletter, please visit www.myregion.org.
