The Idaho Horizons
Community/Partnership Summit is an
exciting and interactive opportunity to
connect our Horizons
communities with potential partners. We hope that the
partnerships made during this summit will provide
communities with valuable
resources for completing their
action items, as well as offer attending
organizations the
chance to develop and expand upon their services to rural
Idaho communities.
The
Summit will include presentations by the Horizons
communities on their
action items and community visions,
as well as guided networking sessions to
connect the
partners and communities. The community presentations
will not
only give the other Horizons communities, but
partnering organizations as
well, an idea of the upcoming
work that will be done in the region.
