BOZEMAN, Mont. (NMB) – Montana State University Extension is accepting applications from rural Montana communities to participate in the Reimagining Rural virtual gathering planned for this fall.
The virtual gathering is a series of three evening events where people come together in their communities to listen to virtual speakers discuss positive examples of successful rural communities. Following the speakers, local groups each have a facilitated conversation about how those ideas might work in their community. Sessions are planned from 6 to 8 pm on September 13th and 27th, as well as October 4th. Any community in Montana is welcome to apply, and participation is free.
More than 230 people participated in the Reimagining Rural virtual gathering in 2020, with socially distanced events in 24 communities.
Reimagining Rural is made possible through a collaboration among MSU Extension, the Burton K. Wheeler Center and the Montana Community Foundation. Additional sponsorship opportunities are available to support the event.
