The 2022 Rural LISC Seminar: Rural Talks Series

Make plans today to join the Rural LISC team, hundreds of program partners, and thought leaders from around the nation, as we virtually converge on Washington, DC for the 2022 Rural LISC Seminar. #RuralTalks on the Hill.

For the first time, the bi-annual Washington, DC seminar will take place virtually. Three separate events will provide an opportunity to discuss this unique moment in time when billions in public dollars are making important advances in Broadband and Infrastructure, Housing, and Workforce and Small Business possible through collaboration and public and private partnerships. Our three-part series will align with Rural LISC’s key investment pillars with special consideration on the overall impacts of climate change on Rural America.
