Welcome to our new site!

The Council of Rural Initiatives is pleased to launch a new web site to support our efforts. Thanks to the help of Irish Rose Consulting! we’re bringing you a new blog and coming events calendar.

This site will update you on the progress CRI is making toward our goals.   Our desire is to contribute in meaningful ways to a more viable, sustainable rural Wisconsin and the social and economic advancement of rural Wisconsin.

We are building networks of rural advocates and local leaders who can help to make the changes that rural Wisconsin requires for a healthier future.  We seek to energize rural citizens to act upon their passions and together to address the issues of greatest importance to their own communities.

We will use this space to let you know what we have done, what we are planning to do and to point you to other resources that speak to the concerns of rural communities.

Check out the site, and if you have suggestions we’d love to hear them.
