On January 28, we kicked off 2026 by hosting our first stakeholder event of the year at Boise Centre. The afternoon featured two engaging panel discussions that brought together community leaders and creative professionals for thoughtful conversations about storytelling, community, and the future of the Treasure Valley.
The event began with a Q&A session with our videographer, Jonathan Conti, who shared insights into how he brings people’s stories to life through video. He discussed the role of storytelling in connecting communities and communicating purpose-driven messages.
The second discussion focused on Boise Parks and Recreation, featuring Sara Arkle and Allison Bruce. The conversation explored important topics affecting the region, including the Greenbelt, conservation efforts, trail connectivity, the open levy, and the real challenges facing the Treasure Valley as it continues to grow.
If you weren’t able to attend, or would like to revisit the conversation, you can watch the full discussions in the videos below!
We extend a special thank you to Boise Centre for providing the space and helping make this event such a success. We look forward to hosting more opportunities for meaningful conversations and community engagement throughout the year.
