Join us in Columbus this summer for Ohio RCAP’s 2012 Rural Community Conference: Small Towns, BIG Futures. We're very excited about this year's conference, and trust that you will be as well. We've scoured the state and the country looking for best practices in community and economic development that are being successfully implemented by communities much like yours. We'll be featuring four tracks with three thematic areas - Infrastructure, Leadership/Management, and Economic Development. Despite the economic hard times we've faced recently, we still believe that big and bright futures await those small towns that are willing to seize the opportunity and take charge of their own futures. We hope that you'll find our conference leaves you with some good ideas on how to get started or energized to build on the work you're already doing. We invite you to join us in Columbus, and look forward to seeing you there!
