Collaboration isn’t easy—especially when communities have different priorities. But in Northern Virginia, 13 independent municipalities have found a way to work together without mandates or central authority.

This week on Community Catalysts, I sit down with Robert Lazaro, Executive Director of the Northern Virginia Regional Commission (NVRC), to explore how trust, communication, and shared interests have fostered a culture of cooperation. From clean energy initiatives to climate resilience and economic growth, NVRC proves that regional collaboration works.

🎧 Tune in to hear how this model creates real impact and why it’s worth exploring for leaders everywhere.
