100 Rural Women, a nonprofit based in northern Minnesota, is gathering input on women’s networks and leadership experiences in Northwest Minnesota.
“We are really excited about this program as 100 Rural Women’s first step toward launching one of our signature programs, ‘100 in 100’. In 2021, we will be holding 100 virtual gatherings across the state of Minnesota to explore networks with rural women, connections and discuss leadership. We are excited to hear from and keep connecting local women to each other in meaningful ways,” said founder, Teresa Kittridge.
The meetings will take place via Zoom, are organized by county clusters and women are welcome to join in the meeting that works best for their schedule.
