    2024 Small Community Forum: Mineral Point

    Tuesday, September 24, 2024 | 7:30 am - 1:00 pm 

    $20 registration, includes light breakfast and lunch

    The thirteenth annual series of Small Community Forums will be held in three locations in Wisconsin in September and October 2024. These Forums are meant to facilitate dialogue between small communities, address common issues, network, share best practices, and identify strategies to address shared concerns. Representatives from many state and regional resource partners will be on hand to connect with attendees and provide guidance on specific concerns introduced during the sessions.

    These convenings are about sharing ideas, learning and networking concerning the health and future of rural Wisconsin. People interested in small-town and rural Wisconsin are invited to attend, including those involved in quality-of-life issues, business, government, education, the non-profit sector, civic and community development.

    Civic leaders, elected officials, volunteers, business leaders, educators, and local and regional economic development associations are encouraged to participate. Case study presentations and resource discussions will focus on infrastructure, partnership, innovation, inclusion in housing, creative economy, childcare, and workforce development, among other issues.

    The registration fee is $20, which covers coffee and rolls in the morning and lunch, and materials. Go to https://www.wiruralpartners.org/Events to register.
