The Region Forward Coalition is leading the effort to turn these big goals into better communities. COG shares stories on its Region Forward Blog to highlight area leaders and initiatives that are helping advance the vision. In this Q&A, Region Forward Coalition Chair and Prince George's County Council Chair Dannielle Glaros discusses the ways her committee is working to ensure area residents have access to opportunity regardless of where they live.
