Starting this year, the Western Rural Development Center is collaborating with NWCDI leaders and our Extension partners to expand the scope and impact of the training to rural champions throughout the Western U.S. and U.S. Territories in the Pacific Basin, including Guam, American Samoa, and the Northern Mariana Islands.
We have a great lineup of veteran and new presenters ready to explore what works to build stronger communities through civic engagement, informed policy, and supportive peer networks. This popular professional development experience is designed by and for those interested in creating healthy, stable, and vibrant communities and economies.
Western regional partners will join this knowledgeable and supportive community; the experience and skills benefit participants’ employers and local communities. We hope you can join us!
