CIRD supports host communities before and after their workshops via informational conference calls and webinars that cover critical topics in community engagement, rural design, partnership development, and workshop planning.

Prior to the 2013 workshops, CommunityMatters and the Orton Family Foundation will offer three webinars/calls through the CommunityMatters conference call series. These sessions will be of relevance to all four selected CIRD workshop host communities, as well as communities that want to undertake rural design and community engagement activities on their own. 

Dates and times for the sessions will be finalized in the coming weeks; all audio and video presentations will be archived as resources on the CIRD website.
