Transforming Rural America:
HomeTown Competitiveness Workshop
September 22, 2010
Washington, D.C.
A free pre-conference workshop on HomeTown Competitiveness, winner of the Innovative Program of the Year Award from the Community Development Society, has been scheduled just prior to CFED’s 2010 Assets Learning Conference in September. HomeTown Competitiveness, or HTC, is a rural community development strategy that focuses on four Pillars: Entrepreneurship, Leadership, Youth Engagement and Community Philanthropy. HTC is in widespread use in nearly a dozen states and is producing remarkable results for small towns facing population decline and economic distress.
The pre-conference workshop is sponsored by the Heartland Center for Leadership Development and the RUPRI Center for Rural Entrepreneurship. It will be held from 9:00 a.m. to noon on Wednesday, September 22, at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, D.C., just prior to CFED’s conference, which begins at the same hotel just after lunch. CFED is expecting more than 1,000 leaders in community practice, government, philanthropy and academia to attend the conference.
The HTC workshop will be led by Marcia White, Director of Community Development Philanthropy for the Nebraska Community Foundation, Milan Wall, Co-Director of the Heartland Center, and Craig Schroeder, Senior Associate with the Center for Rural Entrepreneurship. All three are members of the HTC leadership team in Nebraska.
