Heartland Together: Reno County

Entrepreneurship for inclusive prosperity

About

Overview

Welcome to Heartland Together, an initiative dedicated to strengthening communities by promoting local entrepreneurship!
 
This Campaign aims to mobilize community members like you to take action to create a more welcoming environment for entrepreneurs in Reno County. Whether you're passionate about small businesses, entrepreneurs, or simply want to see your community flourish, there's a place for everyone to participate.
 
The adaptive challenge at the heart of this Campaign is building a robust support system for entrepreneurs. This encompasses various related challenges, including:
  • Promoting collaboration between organizations that support entrepreneurs
  • Improving understanding of entrepreneurs' needs 
  • Helping organizations that support entrepreneurs to better understand and support underserved populations
  • Increasing awareness and connectivity to available entrepreneur services
  • Encouraging more community members to recognize their stake in entrepreneurship
 
We know that each community member brings a unique perspective and can influence these challenges in their own meaningful way. That's why we need all of you, and the people you'll engage, to be involved in this effort!
 
Thank you for joining us on this journey. Together, let's foster a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem in Reno County!
