The 2025 Rural Progress Summit convened rural stakeholders and leaders from across the United States to discuss the pressing needs of rural communities. The 4th Annual Summit focused on elevating local voices and grounded all of the national policy discussions in the real-life concerns of rural Americans. Sessions focused on agriculture, health care, education, tribal affairs, and much more. Key panelists included Secretary Pete Buttigieg and experts from diverse sectors, all underscoring the critical role that rural America plays in shaping the country’s future.
The Rural Progress Summit reaches rural Americans where they are. It’s clear that rural America holds an essential role in moving our country forward and deciding who controls the agenda in Washington, D.C., yet rural America is often left out of important policy decisions. The Rural Progress Summit explores ideas and policies that will shape the future of rural America. The Summit brings together rural stakeholders from across the country to ensure future policy addresses the challenges rural communities face.
