Finding Hidden Members in Your Community
By Cheryl Burkhart-Kriesel, Extension Specialist – Rural Prosperity Nebraska
It is not uncommon for rural Nebraska coffee shop talk to touch on the topic of who is involved or not involved in the community.

There are no new faces and no new ideas as well as there is no one there to allow for a leadership transition. Have you ever heard this conversation? Have you participated in it?
