Southwest Virginia Rural Summit to be held in Abingdon
October 25, 2022
"The summit was launched in 2013, when local leaders realized there wasn’t a single event that brought business leaders, local officials, school superintendents, those involved in health care and nonprofit leaders together under one roof.
Those participating work together to develop strategies that can be used locally and in any rural community, Staton said.
The gathering allows all sectors to “really work together on ways to learn to advance and enhance and continue to grow and prosper in Southwest Virginia,” said Staton, who added that the summit requires about six months of planning."
