Description

What the data shows and what it means for employers in our region
Immigration isn’t a theoretical issue for employers. It’s tied directly to workforce availability, business growth, and the long-term strength of our regional economy.

This regional summit brings together business leaders, policymakers, and industry voices for a clear, data-driven look at how immigrant populations play meaningful roles in our regional workforce and economy.

Held on June 18 from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. at MAPS Air Museum, the summit will highlight findings from a new report by the American Immigration Council and the Akron-Canton Advocacy Alliance.

The report breaks down where immigrant populations are contributing to our economy, operating within key industries, impacting population trends, and fillings gaps in our region’s talent pipeline.

A panel of business and policymakers will react to the findings and discuss what they mean for employers, economic competitiveness, and the region’s ability to grow.

Coffee and breakfast will be provided.
