December 1-3

The Heartland Center for Leadership Development presents its national institute, Helping Small Towns Succeed, in Fredericksburg.  This intense, hands-on workshop attracts attendance from across the nation, and we are extremely fortunate to have this unique opportunity in Central Texas.  TRIF will offer four $250 tuition scholarships. Institute information is available at the Hearland Center for Leadership Development, with earlybird registration rates until November 1. E-mail bobby@ruraltx.org for TRIF scholarship information.
