Asset Building Summit: Assets are not defined narrowly in the sense of one’s vehicle, home, or savings account—but rather encompass the non-tangible assets inclusive of one’s health, education, and social capital. In other words, assets represent a broader array of resources that enable people and communities to influence the decisions that affect their lives and ability to participate in society in meaningful ways. Join us after the Rural Communities Conference to discuss economic development in the framework of human, political, and economic assets.
