What is TRIF?
TRIF is a series of forums, held approximately once every 6-8 weeks. Each forum features noted speakers with outstanding expertise in rural development and practitioners with firsthand knowledge of successful programs and practices.
TRIF brings firsthand knowledge of the most innovative and successful rural development projects in the nation to YOU – the business, civic, social, educational and cultural leaders of Texas’ small cities, towns and rural regions. And we bring it from the people who are making it happen in their home towns from coast to coast.
TRIF speakers will present a mix of theory and practice, but it is all about action and improvement at home, on the ground – not pie-in-the-sky! We are supported by a cast of all-star sponsors who insist on keeping it real!
As an added benefit, through TRIF you become part of a network of like-minded innovators from across rural (and urban) Texas. TRIF is your opportunity to get together with real people who make things happen!
