Developing and Supporting Rural Technology Leaders
This is Rural Technology Leaders (RTL), a special series produced through the Connected Nation Podcast. In this series, we focus on companies and individuals that are utilizing technology and connectivity in rural America.
In this episode of RTL, we talk with Dan Manning and Tom Stephenson, who each serve as Community Technology Advisors for Connected Nation’s Connected Community Engagement Program. They have extensive experience working with communities and organizations doing community team creation, data gathering, and technology action planning.
They share their experiences with rural technology leaders, the hurdles of developing these leaders in rural communities, and the important role that these leaders play in our communities.
