The 2015 National Rural Assembly is less than two months away, and we want to share some exciting news about our agenda, which focuses on building an inclusive nation for all people, in all places.

Some of the highlights of this event will include: 

• Addressing Rural Child Poverty, a conversation moderated by Mil Duncan, Research Director of AGree; 
• The Next Generation, a panel of young leaders, moderated by Lisa Mensah, Undersecretary for Rural Development at USDA; 
• Closing the Philanthropy Gap, a conversation with national funders about the disparity in rural investment.
• Young Leader’s Day, a pre-meeting session on September 8 focused on building communications and advocacy skills. Space is limited, so register now. Scholarships are available!

Don’t forget these important deadlines:

• August 3 – Deadline to sign-up for our Hill Day to visit policymakers on Capitol Hill

• August 18 – Deadline to reserve a hotel room at special rates

• Scholarships will be available until the funds are exhausted.
