Thank you, Ramona Schindelheim and WorkingNation, for the opportunity to discuss rural America, technology, and many other topics! I love that the work we do at Siegel Family Endowment is focused on leveraging the opportunities that technology can offer in rural America and other places! Please listen and let me know what you think!
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.
