WNC Community Partners,

On October 15th - 16th, we are bringing together LTRGs and Partners from across WNC for a regional convening focused on recovery in 2027 and beyond. This convening is less about roundtables and presentations, and more focused on working sessions, giving participants and the region as a whole a chance to think through and strategize what lies ahead.

Formal registration is now open. Please use [this link to register](https://airtable.com/apptAI1PIvlYwfk1M/pag7TjP6LpCKOHE9r/form "https://airtable.com/apptAI1PIvlYwfk1M/pag7TjP6LpCKOHE9r/form"). Feel free to share it with others in your network as appropriate.

_ **\*Please note that Thursday is open to all recovery stakeholders, but Friday is LTRG’s only.** _

_ **For Friday, we recommend LTRGs include their Executive Director, DCMs, and any other Executive Committee Members as this day will be focused on implementation and resource planning for future recovery work.** _

_ **Location:** _  
YMCA Blue Ridge Assembly (venue map attached) - _Event location is circled on the map, Washburn #22_  
4 Blue Ridge Circle Black Mountain, NC 28711

**Attached you’ll find the event schedule, facilitator lineup and venue map.**

Lunch will be provided for all event guests on both days. Breakfast will only be provided for those staying overnight at the YMCA Blue Ridge Assembly.
