The RuralRISE Summit is an annual gathering of people and organizations working to increase opportunities and prosperity for small and rural communities across the United States.

This year’s event is Sept. 28-30 in Emporia, Kansas. In preparation, organizers are inviting (short) proposals for Quick Pitches, crisp 5-minute overviews of a program or project that is scalable, repeatable, and has been successful in your rural community. They’ve been an audience favorite at previous Summits, and this year can be presented in person or by video, which will be posted to the RuralRISE website and social media accounts.

Proposals are due July 1.
