SUMMARY:District Dialogues - Unlocking Rural Potential: Identifying and Addressing the Barriers to Rural Investment
DESCRIPTION:At this District Dialogues event\, we’ll dig into the latest research and economic data\, hear local experts discuss the key factors impeding rural investment\, and identify policies and programs that may support economic outcomes and community development.  \n\n\n\nAs a regional Reserve Bank\, the Richmond Fed has a mission to strengthen the economy and the communities we serve. With nearly a quarter of the Fifth District’s population living in small towns and rural communities\, the Richmond Fed is committed to understanding the unique challenges facing these areas and sharing research and what works to address these challenges. Some Fifth District rural communities and small towns are thriving\, but others are struggling\, held back by issues such as population and job loss\, lack of childcare and limited educational opportunities.  \n\n\n\nInterested in learning more? All community members are invited to join us Wednesday\, September 3 at 2:00 PM in person at West Virginia University or virtually via Zoom. There is no cost to attend\, but all attendees are asked to register in advance. In-person attendees are invited to join us before the event for networking and refreshments. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\nAndy Bauer\, Vice President and Regional Executive\, Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond\n\n\n\nSurekha Carpenter\, Senior Research Analyst\, Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond\n\n\n\nStacey Armstrong\, President\, WVU Innovation Corporation\n\n\n\nJen Giovannitti\, President\, Claude Worthington Benedum Foundation\n\n\n\nChristy Laxton\, Executive Director\, Wyoming County Economic Development Authority \n\n\n\nElizabeth Vitullo\, Assistant Vice President\, Economic Innovation\, West Virginia University\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2:00-2:30 pm ET \n\n\n\n\n\nWelcome Reception: Networking & RefreshmentsIn Person \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n2:30-4:00 pm ET \n\n\n\n\n\nPresentation\, Panel Discussion and Audience Q&AIn Person and Virtual Audiences \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n4:00-5:00 pm ET \n\n\n\n\n\nClosing Remarks and NetworkingIn Person \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\nThis is a hybrid event.
