“Thank you for a first-rate presentation at the AEW Network Conference. Your passion for your work is noticeable and contagious. More importantly, the cross-boundary approaches you are taking are paying huge dividends. What you are doing in Eastern Kentucky needs to be replicated across the Appalachian region as well as in other similar rural places.”
