Sign-up is open for Brushy Fork Institute's Leadership Summit for rural communities at Berea College Nov. 2-3

Building up your rural community's civic ecosystem begins with wise leadership training, including infrastructure planning. To help smaller communities gain that expertise, the Brushy Fork Institute is offering a Leadership Summit at Berea College in Kentucky this November 2-3.

This year's summit is titled "Leading Through Resilience: Imagining the Future." Brushy Fork says it will provide attendees with high-quality workshops designed to create new connections between participants while facilitating active knowledge on leading robust development. The goal is to help rural areas go beyond resilience in the face of difficulty to designing a practical plan that includes anticipated future obstacles and ways to deal with those problems before they happen.

Brushy Fork's website gives a detailed agenda, costs, parking, accommodations, and other important logistical information. The keynote address from Invest Appalachia CEO Andrew Crosson and workshop tracts are highlighted with details. The site includes a button that links to their official 2023 Summit registration form on Eventbrite. If you have questions, call 859-985-3858 or email brushyfork@berea.edu.
