The 2013 National Rural Assembly will be held in Bethesda, Maryland, June 23-26. We anticipate up to 200 participants this year, representing rural organizations from across the country from various sectors, including, health, agriculture, education, investment, and philanthropy, as well as representatives from members of the Administration, Congress, and federal agencies.
This PlaceStories project builds on stories created for the 2011 Gathering. We would like you to share your stories with other participants and rural advocates.
The theme of this year’s conference and the Assembly going forward continues to be Building an Inclusive Nation. Secretary Vilsack’s recent commentary on the relevancy of rural America has captured the moment and focused rural practitioners on where our work fits in, and we plan to use that momentum to build on the theme of inclusive nation. Over the three days we’ll be offering a more progressive narrative for and about rural America that focuses heavily on the shifting demographics and political changes currently underway in our communities and the opportunities these changes present for rural in building a more sustainable and inclusive nation.
