NREDA Members: "Like", "Follow" and "Join"

On behalf of the 2012 National Rural Economic Developer's Association (NREDA) Board of Directors, I would like to thank you for your interest in our organization and in economic development in rural America. Reflecting on 2011, rural America witnessed many natural disasters and economic difficulties. As rural economic conditions begin to improve and communities are rebuilding, there remains tremendous opportunities for development and community resurgence. Please continue to utilize member resources of NREDA, such as the member listserv, the Professional Learning Laboratory Webinars and the mentor network as your communities are seeking new opportunities.
 
As we progress into 2012, you will notice an increase in our NREDA Social Media campaign. I am very pleased to announce our partnership with the Golden Shovel Agency and Economic Gatekeeper service to promote NREDA. Stay connected to our membership activities throughout the country by "Liking" our Facebook Page, "Following" our Twitter feed, and "Joining" our LinkedIn Group. The value add to our media campaign is in the strength of our NREDA network. Please forward and post your news. The more that we share, the more our members are recognized for the great work that you are all doing for Rural America. More information on this campaign is included on the NREDA website and through our newsletters.

My challenge to you as a NREDA member is to make a strong effort to become involved in NREDA's various committees, events, and activities. Being a long time developer, I understand that what you can get of a partnership is based on what you put in. I would encourage you to make the most of your membership in NREDA by joining a committee, participating in a webinar, and attending our annual conference in Indianapolis, IN, July 18-20, 2012.

Let's work together to make 2012 the true year of our economic revival. Thank you for allowing me to serve you and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any comments, suggestions or interests.

Sincerely,

Tom Lambrecht
2012 NREDA President
