  • Utah Rural Summit, It Is Vital That We Embrace and Adapt to New Practices for Traveling, Socializing and Learning
    October 6, 2020 R i STEPHEN LISONBEE We have a rich history in Rural Utah of being resilient - a sense of toughness! Our history has shown us the road map of how we respond to challenges and opportunities. We are currently in the middle of something significant and our ability to be tough together is helping us lift meaningful efforts that are ensuring we have vibrant and thriving communities. CARINE CLARK Rural Utah' is not just one place -- it is a collection of vibrant and diverse communities that hold the keys to unlocking the future growth and opportunities for our state. We must plant the seeds favorable to our own future success. People forget that long ago, Lehi, Utah was considered rural -- and now it's ground zero for one of the nation's fastest growing tech communities. Imagine what we can do when we really try. DERRAL EVES As we look to impact Rural Utah, we should explore and analyze its history. Today more than ever, we need to have the same level of innovation, determination, and resilience of those who came to this great state with hope for a brighter future. Let us mirror that hope and drive for our future, but not be stuck in “the same old way” of doing things. ERIC SCHMUTZ Rural Utah has a deep connection to getting things done. However, in today’s world of global economics the value of small and simple things can often be overlooked or even lost. We should never underestimate the beauty and power of sticking to the basics.
