Can fostering tech economy hubs in rural America and bringing better digital connectivity to rural areas deliver opportunities and reverse a “brain drain”? Ramona Schindelheim talks to Joshua Elder, vice president and head of grantmaking for Siegel Family Endowment, about efforts to do just that – on the latest Work in Progress: A WorkingNation Podcast. “I speak as someone who grew up in rural America,” Elder says. “I felt like I had to move out in order to be able to find the opportunities or pursue opportunities for things that I was interested in. I know some of that, unfortunately, is still the case.” Listen to the podcast on our website at https://bit.ly/4cFxwUx or on most major podcasting platforms. You also can listen and subscribe to @Work_Podcast on YouTube.
