Still Starbucks-Free: Rural Main Streets—Small towns need vitality, too!

Speakers: Kathy Callies, Acting President, Rural Learning Center; Dennis (Denny) Ross, Mayor, City of Maupin, OR; JoAnne Bush, Mayor, City of Lake Village, AR; Chris Beck, Senior Projects Advisor, U.S.D.A.-Rural Development

Given the global economy's demand for greater economic efficiencies (fewer small farmers) and environmentally sound natural resource practices (less extraction), many rural communities are facing a dramatic shift in the economic opportunities available to them. Starbucks may not be coming any time soon, but rural leaders understand that creating great places to live and work is an essential ingredient to their economic future and have requested USDA funding for strategic, place-based investments. This session focuses on three case studies: a new meeting center in Howard, South Dakota, a revived market in Maupin, Oregon, and a historic renovation in Lake Village, Arkansas.

Teaming Up for Success: Collaboration Between Nonprofit Organizations and Government Agencies

Speakers: Shane Hope, AICP, Community & Economic Development Director, City of Mountlake Terrace, WA; Andre Leroux, Executive Director, Massachusetts Smart Growth Alliance; Jeremy Madsen, Executive Director, Greenbelt Alliance; Alison Van Gorp, Urban Policy Director, Forterra; Sally Wakefield, Executive Director, Envision Minnesota

Tight budgets mean state and local governments often lack the resources to plan for and implement smart growth. One way to help overcome these resource constraints is for nonprofit organizations and government agencies to team up. Such partnerships may force a fundamental rethinking of the traditional nonprofit-agency dynamic in which the nonprofit is the 'advocate' and the agency is the 'target'. The panel explores collaborations in the SF Bay Area and the Seattle region that attempt to forge agency-nonprofit cooperation.
