Community Field Day: Showcasing Community Development Successes

As rural communities are challenged to sustain and grow, we’ve created a forum to share how some communities are capacity building!

The Strom Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, with support from Dickinson State University, is hosting a Community Field Day held at the Dickinson State University Student Center on October 20, 2009 from 9:30-4:30 (MST).

This will be a great time to find out what is working in other rural communities and provide the opportunity to network with those interested in community growth.

The key areas that will be highlighted by panel discussions are youth, leadership, entrepreneurship, and charitable giving (or Resources for Development). Each area will have a panel of at least 3 speakers to talk about their project, program, or community.

The day will feature community development success stories from the region including—Dickinson, Medora, Bowman, Williston, Standing Rock Reservation, Killdeer, Bismarck, Stanton, AND others.

If you are interested in being a part of this day, you can set up a booth/display to share information about your community or organization, Please contact Amanda Lynn Moser at amanda.moser@dickinsonstate.edu to request space. 

 Watch for additional info, including early bird registration and a list of panel projects!
