Alta, IA

Two community members, Kris Shannon and Terry Pollard, have been selected to represent Alta Horizons progress and be presenters for a workshop at the 2008 Midstates Community and Economic Development Conference to be held on Wednesday, March 19, at the Marina Inn in South Sioux City, Nebraska.

Alta was selected as one of about 15 communities from Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota.

This conference is designed to bring together community and business leaders, and elected officials from the three-state area to share their experiences and learn new ideas for community and rural economic development.

Kris and Terry, members of the Alta Horizons Steering Committee, will lead a breakout session at 12:30p on Leadership, which will discuss community capacity building through leadership development with the Horizon Program in Alta. The other community featured during the breakout session will be Tyndall, S.D.

Several other Alta community members will be attending the conference as well.

Everyone from rural communities is invited and welcome to attend.
