Rural Summit

The NC Rural Center’s 2021 signature policy advocacy event, the 2021 Rural Summit will take place virtually on March 15-17. Accounting for the realities of the COVID-19 pandemic, this multi-day, virtual event is expected to attract more than 2,500 people from across North Carolina and beyond. The Rural Summit will call attention to a number of public policy issues and priorities affecting our state’s rural people and places, with a special thematic focus on entrepreneurship and small-business development. Additional policy issues on the event agenda include: broadband, healthcare, social determinants of health, water and wastewater infrastructure, regional collaboration, racial equity, and communities mobilizing for change. You will not want to miss this informative and action-oriented policy change event.
