Save the date for the 2013 National Rural Assembly
03/11/2013


The next gathering of the National Rural Assembly will be held in the D.C. Metro area, June 23-26, 2013. Registration will open up in April. 

As in the previous gatherings of the National Rural Assembly, rural leaders and advocates will work to bring rural issues to the fore and examine policy solutions that address the opportunities and challenges of America's 55 million rural residents.

Because of our close proximity to the Hill, we plan to devote a chunk of our time to appointments with policymakers and other leaders.

Stay tuned!
