Access Utah Host Tom Williams attended the 27th annual Utah Rural Summit, held August 7th and 8th in Cedar City, Utah and spoke with conference keynote speakers Chuck Schroeder, Executive Director of the Rural Futures Institute, Jeff Yost, President of the Nebraska Community Foundation.
The Utah Rural Summit is recognized as the state's foremost forum for addressing issues that affect rural Utah. Centered around the theme, "Big Dreams in a Small Town," this year's gathering will feature speakers and sessions highlighting new ideas and best practices from other states -- and from within Utah -- that can be applied in Utah's rural communities and counties.
The Utah Rural Summit is hosted by the Utah Center for Rural Life at Southern Utah University. Attendees include government and business leaders from across the state, and in addition to the keynote presentations, attendees are traditionally addressed by the Governor and other prominent national and regional speakers.
