MidSouth Regional Roundtables

The MidSouth Development District invites community members and regional leaders to join us for the inaugural MidSouth Regional Roundtable — a new quarterly convening designed to strengthen collaboration across the region and align partners around the issues shaping the Mid-South’s future.

This full-day gathering will bring together public, private, nonprofit, and community stakeholders to build relationships, identify shared priorities, and begin laying the foundation for long-term, region-wide impact. Throughout the day, participants can join the sessions most relevant to their work — Transportation, Workforce Development, Housing, Infrastructure, and Regional Anchors.

The MidSouth Regional Roundtable will take place on January 8 from 8:00am to 4:30pm at The Great Hall & Conference Center in Germantown.

About the Roundtables

The MidSouth Regional Roundtables are designed to bring critical regional conversations into one shared space. Each session focuses on a key issue shaping the Mid-South, offering participants the chance to dive deeply into the topics they care about most while benefiting from being part of a larger, interconnected network of leaders.

By hosting these conversations side-by-side over the course of a single day, the Roundtable aims to:

  • Build cross-sector relationships and networks

  • Align partners around shared priorities and challenges

  • Increase accountability toward region-wide goals

  • Lay the groundwork for coordinated federal funding efforts

  • Create opportunities for insights to flow across topic areas

Each session will be professionally facilitated to support productive dialogue, inclusive participation, and actionable outcomes. The MDD team will help elevate connections to federal grant opportunities.

As the Roundtable series continues, future sessions will be supported by shared dashboards tracking key indicators — such as open jobs, federal investments, and housing permits — providing a transparent view of regional progress and gaps. These tools will help partners stay aligned over time and make data-informed decisions across topic areas.
