Come join the opening reception for the Sustainable Communities conference. A fantastic opening panel scheduled for tonight, October 1, 2019 - 7:30pm.

Keynote Panel - Rural-Urban Interaction

The rural and the urban need each other, but they also need to understand the relationship between them if they are to prosper in the 21st century. Our opening panel will explore new ways of understanding the differences, and dependencies, between rural and urban populations. In the age of globalization, climate change, and just-in-time deliveries, what do rural and urban need, want, and expect from each other?

Keynote Panelists:
Zita Cobb
