The Editor’s Notes

Businesses of all sizes and industries across Western North Carolina are encouraged to respond to a survey on the impacts of Hurricane Helene on their business. Please share.

I will be moderating a panel at the Rural Summit 2025. The Rural Summit is the NC Rural Center’s annual conference. It provides a unique opportunity for local leaders and state partners to come together in conversation and celebration. The 2025 Rural Summit will bring together community leaders, policymakers, and rural advocates from across the state and nation to engage in a thoughtful, intentional dialogue about the actions we can take today to advance policy and systems change across a broad spectrum of rural development issues. The Rural Summit 2025 is taking place March 25-26, 2025, at the Raleigh Marriott Crabtree Valley. This conference will focus on Securing our Rural Future. Register here to join us.
