Rural Progress Summit

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. This conference will bring together rural stakeholders from across the country to ensure future policy addresses the challenges rural communities face. Along with discussions of important rural priorities, we’ll also highlight the vital role rural areas play in shaping the nation’s energy, economic, and agricultural future. The One Country Project Rural Progress Summit will provide a forum to develop a consensus on the future of rural America and its position as a leader in the future of our country.
