SFE’s Executive Director Katy Knight recently moderated a panel on the future of work in rural America at Jobs for the Future’s Horizons conference. Panelists included Matt Dunne, Founder and Executive Director of the Center on Rural Innovation (CORI), Joshua Frazier-Sparks, Senior Manager at Walmart.org, and Neela Mollgaard, Executive Director of Launch Minnesota. The group discussed opportunities for leadership and innovation in workforce and economic development outside of metropolitan areas.
