Counties are preparing for an unprecedented investment of federal funds in high-speed internet deployment and digital equity efforts from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. The High-Speed Internet For All Summit will bring together critical federal partners, state broadband office directors, and other key stakeholders. The summit will also elevate the central role of counties in digital equity initiatives to ensure historically marginalized and underrepresented communities receive equal access to the next generation of high-speed internet services. |

Congressional and federal agency leaders will gather with county officials to discuss the implementation of new statutes granting funding and flexibility to federal lands agencies. In recent years, Congress has given agencies new authorities to engage in cross-boundary forest treatments, support local timber economies and make landscapes less fire prone. Officials will discuss these efforts and potential statutory changes in the 118th Congress. |

Congressional, federal agency leaders and national thought leaders will gather with county officials to discuss priorities for curbing the ongoing mental health crisis, including strengthening the local crisis response infrastructure, policy solutions for addressing substance use disorder, and enhancing behavioral and mental health services for justice-involved individuals. |
