As an inspirational speaker\, community advocate\, author of How Mommy Got Her Groove Back™\, and host of the podcast The Growing Small Towns Show\, she’s put her gift of gab to good use. \nRebecca gained her chops as a people developer through an international talent management firm.

They love their small town and the crazy-good life they get to live there. \nBreakout Sessions – Hear about area success stories on the following topics: \n\nArts & Culture in Your Community\nEngaging Community Members\nFunding Community Projects\nRural Tourism\n\nNetworking – Experience networking with residents from other rural communities and resource providers that have tools to help you improve your community all while taking the time to explore Platte.
