2026 We Prosper Together Catalyst Summit Post-Event Materials
Valley Vision was thrilled to host the We Prosper Together Catalyst Summit on September 9th, 2026 at the Citrus Heights Event Center, presented by Sutter Health. The event brought out 300 leaders from community, business, and government to collaborate on big economic and workforce development goals that will continue to grow good-paying jobs and attract investment across California’s Capital Region.
The event celebrated the impact of the successful We Prosper Together initiative across the eight-county Capital Region; which to date has funded 22 innovative workforce and economic development projects, created more than 250 jobs, and engaged nearly 23,000 community members from both urban and rural communities. The summit also highlighted the growth of exciting emerging industries and career pathways in biomanufacturing and semiconductors, which align with our region’s priority precision manufacturing and life sciences industry sectors.
