Heritage's Resource Bank Meeting convenes the best minds from think tanks across the country, activist and community leaders effecting change in the states, elected officials leading the way forward, new media voices bringing insight and clarity to the current debates, and rising young leaders who inspire.
For more than 40 years, participants rave about the quality of leaders who attend, the incredible conversations that happen, and the dynamic topics that are explored. Resource Bank is more than a meeting. It's a community of leaders and influencers advancing change and creating impact.
In 2020, we faced a pandemic, civil strife, cultural upheaval, and a protracted political contest. Now, in 2021, we see a lot of unsettling realities before us that jeopardize our economic prosperity and national security, our civic institutions, our children's future, and our most basic freedoms.
Over 300 leaders from across the country convened in Austin, TX, June 1-4, 2021, to unpack CHALLENGE 2021—to strategize on how we can stop the distastrous policies coming out of Washington, advance conversative solutions in the states, unite a fractious movement, and appeal to and capture the hearts and minds of new votes. And together, we responded CHALLENGE ACCEPTED.
