The Office of Community and Rural Affairs announced five OCRA Community Engagement Summit sessions will take place in August and September 2026. OCRA Community Engagement Summit meetings are open to both community members and leaders.
Session topics will include placemaking, local community successes, OCRA programming, as well as the opportunity to network with fellow community leaders. Additionally, there will be a panel of community leaders to discuss best practices for collaboration that contributed to their city or town’s accomplishments. The keynote speaker will be unique for each location and will be announced ahead of each event.
