Where's the regional collaboration?

Below' you'll find a story that's about broad economic topics like work-based learning and aligning skills with jobs. But it's also a story about how the region sees itself.

Formed by the Greater Washington Partnership, the Capital CoLAB is bringing together schools and governments from across D.C., Maryland and Virginia. They're providing the space so that someone who has an issue in Baltimore can talk to someone in Fairfax who might've already solved it. At the same time, it offers a reminder that folks may live in one city, but commute to another. We're mobile like that around here. 

It feels like those connections are only going to get more important, and boundaries less so. So tell us: Do you agree? How can this region work together better? And where are you seeing examples that are working?Reply here or email baltimore@technical.ly.
