I'm very excited to share with you that I wrote a book!
It's a workbook written with you and your small town in mind. Our early readers said they will use it to empower residents, entrepreneurs, and community leaders with practical strategies and real-world examples. The advice to get started today and how to do so makes it stand out from other rural books.
"By the way, I LOVE the statement, "Why do we decide our youth have no say in our small towns?" When we do community meetings here in Buffalo, we definitely invite our youth--as matter of fact we often hold the meetings at the High School auditorium. I have thoroughly enjoyed this book!" James Leonard from Buffalo, OK
Each section tells success stories and gives actionable advice. It is a comprehensive guide to kickstarting economic growth, fostering community engagement, and creating a thriving future for our vital local communities.
I wrote this workbook based on my experiences working with small towns as a cofounder of SaveYour.Town, as chamber director in a small Iowa town, and case studies of innovative initiatives from small towns nationwide.
I thought it was great! The format is consistent throughout, the notes sheets are nice for making it interactive, and the stories were interesting. Overall, KUDOS. Great job. Jenn Farwell, Rural Community & Ag Business Advocate
