Summit 2020

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2020 Virtual RuralRISE Summit!

RuralRISE started three years ago when a small group of intrepid rural entrepreneurial ecosystem builders assembled to develop potential solutions to help rural communities and the rural entrepreneurs within them.

Since that time, this grassroots effort has grown to include hundreds of participants from almost every state, monthly video calls and countless hours of mutual support for rural communities across the country.

During these times, our work is even more difficult, but also more necessary as countless people explore ways to create meaningful opportunities for themselves and their communities.

RuralRISE is a celebration of all rural communities regardless of size or location — and in particular a celebration of the hard work that each of you do day-in and day-out to help create new jobs and opportunities.  Thank you for all you do!
