Join us on Our Statewide Listening Tour
The 2024 Rural Listening Tour is an opportunity to hear and learn from our partners across the state about the persistent challenges and issues facing rural communities and regions. Your feedback will lead to an informed, updated Rural Center 2025 policy agenda and offer guidance on topics for our 2025 Rural Summit. We have also developed a Rural Issues Poll to collect data that will augment the feedback from our meetings.
Register below to join us on our tour and help us best represent the people of rural North Carolina. You can also take the poll now if you're unable to join us on the road.
