Guiding Principles of Meetings
1) We want to be attentive to who’s NOT at the table and work to bring them in. For communities to achieve their full potential, each and every person must be invested in community success and consider themselves represented in decision-making for the community.
2) We want to ensure transparency and communication with members and communities. Open and honest lines of communication are crucial to maintaining trust. To advance equity for rural people and places, rural advocates must be in better sync and not work at cross purposes.
3) We want to find ways to maintain excitement and participation from members and communities. Much of the equity and prosperity work underway in rural places is hard, long-term work, and participants suggested celebrating wins and maintaining strong personal relationships among members to maintain momentum.
