REGARDS TO RURAL VI

Friday & Saturday, March 20-21, 2009

 

A gathering to inform, inspire, celebrate and CAPITOLIZE. . . all that is rural!

 

Thank you to our Conference Participants

Over 300 participants gathered at the Salem Conference Center to share two fun and exciting days of networking, presentations, collaboration, and team-building on an impressive scale. RDI’s goal is to connect people from diverse communities with each other’s wisdom and that of presenters and trainers who bring best practice from all over.

 

The success of Regards to Rural VI is not merely the result of careful planning. It is the synergy that happens between enthusiastic participants, committed partners, passionate presenters and supportive staff which creates something far greater than each individual role. In conference evaluations, conversations, and even follow up thank you notes, participants tell us that they have gained renewed energy, hope, confidence and commitment to strengthening their communities. RDI could not do this without you. We are truly appreciative of your contribution in making this happen.

 

While Regards to Rural VI has come to an end, the outcomes from the conference will indicate otherwise. You will be pleased to discover that valuable tools and information shared have headed home to be put into action. We invite you to re-visit Regards to Rural VI; click through the photo gallery, view a session presentation, or re-connect with R2R participants through the RIPPLE website where reflections, video and blogging are now being shared.
