Maine Rural Partners : Stengthening Our Rural Community
Welcome to rural Maine's Community Exchange Center
There are a lot of good people doing great work in rural Maine. At Maine Rural Partners, we strive to bring these people - and solutions - together so that all of rural Maine can share the benefits and avoid the pitfalls. As we move into the 21st century, there is simply too much at stake for us not to be sharing resources and experience.
The Community Exchange Center is designed to pull together the people and ideas necessary to address the challenges of rural Maine in a holistic, comprehensive way, utilizing cutting-edge communications technology and collaborative tools while building and strengthening old-fashioned personal relationships.
