Driftless region group on LinkedIn

There is a new group on LinkedIn for Driftless innovators entitled ” Upper Mississippi Valley Rural Partners”.

This group grew out of a convening of upper midwest rural partners organized by Partners for Rural America and the USDA, hosted by Wisconsin Rural Partners, to connect the region to a common vision. We want a place to stay connected, connect with others of similar mind and keep the momentum of our convening moving forward. This group is a way to share information about cross-state collaborations that are occurring throughout the region. The region is larger than the Driftless – it includes North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Ohio.
Please consider joining this group!
