A RuralRISE Speaker Series — real conversations on what’s actually changing in rural America, and how rural organizations are adapting.
We’ve all been on a journey with rural. For RuralRISE, that journey has spanned more than a decade. For some of you, it’s been shorter. For others, longer.
RuralRISE started with one mission: we wanted rural communities and organizations to learn from each other; the lessons learned, the hard-won knowledge and to work together to build an ecosystem dedicated to advancing rural life. Whether your organization focuses on entrepreneurship, education, technology, or policy, you have a place here.
We’re going back to our roots. Between the speed of the new AI landscape, shifting funding streams, and the ongoing threshold questions around broadband and connectivity, we believe now is the moment to return to what RuralRISE does best: amplifying the programs and leaders already doing this work.
Rural Voices is a RuralRISE speaker series — short, honest conversations with the people doing the work in rural America, on what’s actually changing and how their communities are keeping up.
Our cornerstone monthly speaker series has been a space for sharing thought-provoking ideas and conversations since its beginning. Although this program is transitioning to a new format, you can still catch the recap and view speaker resources from past events.
