Annual OneCape Summit, July 29-30, Wequassett Resort, Harwich

Two members of the Governor’s Cabinet and one of Boston’s leading meteorologists are among the featured speakers for the 2019 OneCape Summit, to be held at the Wequassett Resort in Harwich on July 29 and 30.

Hosted annually by the Cape Cod Commission, OneCape is a region-wide forum focused on the Cape’s unique environment and economy. It brings together more than 300 local elected leaders, municipal staff and appointed board members, industry practitioners, community leaders, and activists to discuss shared issues, consider forward-looking solutions and hear from experts in their fields on a variety of regionally important topics. This year, OneCape will explore ongoing efforts to become a more resilient region.

Helping to kick off the first of the two-day summit, focusing on the environment, are Massachusetts Energy and Environmental Affairs Secretary Kathleen Theoharides and CBS Boston Chief Meteorologist Eric Fisher. Secretary of Housing and Economic Development Mike Kennealy leads off the second day, which focuses on the economy.
