Community development leaders have discovered that they can share ideas with their counterparts all over the state without leaving their offices through South Dakota Rural Enterprise statewide Opportunity Roundtables. These conversational teleconference and information exchanges feature community leaders just like you joining in to talk about what works and what doesn't in growing opportunity in South Dakota. Participation in the Opportunity Roundtables is FREE.

If you've missed some of the past Opportunity Roundtables, you can pick up some good ideas from past Roundtable conversations, posted on the South Dakota Rural Enterprise web site. Just click on the Opportunity Roundtable link and you'll be taken to an archive of past discussions. Topics include:

• Measuring Economic Impacts: A Tool for Evaluating your Community Business
• Proactive Approaches to Current Conditions
• Where's the Money?
• The American Dream: Affordable Housing Options for South Dakota
• How to Bring Businesses to Communities
