Takeaways from the National Outdoor Recreation Executive Forum
Baird’s Enthusiast & Outdoor Recreation Investment Banking team recently attended Outdoor Recreation Roundtable’s Inaugural National Outdoor Recreation Executive Forum (“ORR Executive Forum”) in Washington D.C. Baird proudly served as a Gold Sponsor for the groundbreaking event, which brought together government agency officials, bipartisan members of Congress, governors, CEOs and other leaders from across the industry’s many segments to drive collective goals and strategies forward.
ORR National Outdoor Recreation Executive Forum was a resounding success and a first-of-its-kind event. We rarely see this combination of executives / business leaders, policymakers and influential industry experts in one place. The ability to bring this diverse group together, linked by the common goal of the advancement of the Outdoor Recreation industry, was an unmatched display of the industry’s size, influence and importance to the U.S. economy. We are shaping the future of the Outdoor Recreation industry for both participating organizations and the more than 170 million Americans who enjoy outdoor activities annually. The Outdoor sector is not only important to society and human well-being, but is also one of the largest wealth-creating sectors in the global economy. We were thrilled to be associated with this event and look forward to continuing working with Jessica and the ORR team.
