We need your feedback!

If you're unable to attend one of our rural forums or the Rural Summit, please take a moment to provide your input online here.

Come share your view of local issues, challenges, and priorities for your rural community at one of three regional forums. Information gathered at the forums will be summarized and shared with forum participants as well as with key stakeholders at a statewide Rural Summit. The Wisconsin Rural Summit will be held December 2, 2011 at the Stoney Creek Inn in Wausau.
