The Rural Assembly's virtual event returns August 1. 

We are excited to announce the upcoming Rural Assembly Everywhere 2024 event, focusing on nurturing thriving communities.

In a year marked by elections and challenges, it’s essential to shift our focus toward envisioning what it truly means for rural areas to flourish.

That’s why this year’s Rural Assembly Everywhere will explore a diverse range of topics, all centered on nourishing ourselves and our rural communities.

This event is an opportunity to dive deep into the essence of rural life, to explore how we can all play a part in enriching our communities, and to celebrate the tireless efforts of individuals and organizations across the nation who are already making a difference.

Register now and stay tuned for more details on speakers, sessions, and how you can be part of this inspiring event!
