NEVADA CITY

Sierra Commons is hosting an action-focused event that will bring entrepreneurs, community leaders, policymakers, nonprofit partners, and special guest California State Treasurer Fiona Ma, CPA, together to address rural challenges and create cross-sector solutions to strengthen local economies.

“Resilience Through Rural Entrepreneurship: A Gathering for Change-Makers and Cross-Pollinators” will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 13. The event will be livestreamed on Zoom, and the public is invited to join free of charge.

Ma will deliver the afternoon keynote and moderate a panel discussion with leaders representing sectors such as local food systems, forest resilience, and workforce housing.

The first-of-its-kind event for Sierra Commons will include guest presentations, success story spotlights, networking, and facilitated group discussions. The event builds upon a year of growth for the nonprofit that is expanding in-person and online business education to grow a broader audience with workshops throughout California.

Free registration for the livestream is open now at bit.ly/resiliencegathering.
