"The goal in rolling out the HCI Town Hall Speaker Series is to help amplify the most critical conversations being had in municipalities across the region. We want to encourage communities to better understand the complexity of how different issues impact residents across the region. The nuance among micro-communities and their respective local experts helps illuminate the common ground we share -- and helps to build empathy among the leaders seeking collaborative solutions. Not only is this series intended for a local audience, but it's also a great platform for a series of case studies in innovative strategies taking place in rural America. And in a lot of ways, the Roaring Fork and Colorado River Valleys truly are taking an innovative approach to solving regional problems."
