Community Lunch and Learn
Do you want to connect with other emerging and established leaders from your rural community?

This is an opportunity to learn, network, and build your capacity and collaborations to lead community efforts.
Community Lunch and Learn is a one-day, 4-hour interactive leadership development training tailored for rural leaders in the Pacific Northwest.
