About Us
We are a non-profit organization composed of representatives from all levels of government, community and regional nonprofit organizations, and the private sector.
 
We create a positive climate for the advancement of policy issues, collaboration, innovation, best practices, attraction of resources and building of rural leadership capacity.
 
We work together with other Partners for Rural America to improve the quality of rural life.

Our collaborative structure enables us work with residents and policy makers to:
  • Help them develop vitality-improving projects and initiatives
  • Help them identify and reduce regulatory and other barriers
  • Help them understand and address their community needs and build confidence in the local and regional development process
  • Serve as an experienced convener and vehicle for collaboration
  • Tap into other resources to implement best practices, obtain technical assistance, identify funding sources and assist local leaders in community development​
