Six Factors to Define a Successful Rural Community
- Leadership that matters. Leaders in a community must actively say: “We’re not fine with where we are. Here’s where we’d like to go; let’s figure out the steps that will take us there.
- Hopeful vision backed by grit.
- Deliberate efforts to invite others into leadership roles, including people who might not otherwise participate.
- Not letting fear be a barrier.
- Willingness to invest in community.
- Strong social networks.
