On October 8, 2013, at the Northeastern Oklahoma Regional Alliance (NORA) Summit, Christy Finsel, ONAC Coordinator, was a speaker for a panel entitled, Rural Policies - Forward Thinking Policies to Address Poverty Cycles.
Panel Description:
Current rural policy increases rural poverty; a panel will discuss rural communities harnessing their political capital through grassroots networks to shape winnable policy objectives supporting alternative, asset-‐based rural economies and targeted poverty prevention programs, including building family financial assets, and will discuss building grassroots leaders to maintain a consistent, sustainable policy voice.
