The Rural Leaders section within the Center for Rural Affairs website reminds us that the lifeblood of small towns lies in the everyday leaders who step up for their communities. Their emphasis on cultivating effective skills, civic entrepreneurship, collaboration, and identifying emerging leaders resonates closely with Aspen CSG’s own focus on long-term, asset-based development. Just as Aspen CSG elevates Rural Development Hubs as vehicles for lasting change, CFRA underscores that leadership is not about individual power but about sustaining collective capacity. Both perspectives highlight the essential truth that durable rural prosperity depends on equipping and supporting local leaders who can carry forward a multi-decade vision of resilience and growth.
