"We've been exploring what it is that's important to us, what it is that we'd like to see this place be in the future." - Stephen Bontekoe from the Limestone Valley Resource Conservation & Development Council on the goals of our Natural Treasures Alliance in 2020. #16STRONG

Love working for an organization that puts people first.

"We are an organization that prides ourselves on bringing people together." @bmassen is starting us off by reminding us why we're all here: the people. #16STRONG

[Rhett Reeves Bentley @isabellarhett]

So true!!

[Thrive Regional Partnership @Thrive_RP]

"All meetings should include dogs." Something we can all agree on in the wake of a very virtual 2020. Thanks to @bmassen's dogs for joining our #16STRONG celebration and reminding us of how we've thrived this year -- despite unexpected challenges like barking dogs.

[Rhett Reeves Bentley @isabellarhett]

Ready to celebrate @Thrive_RP for much accomplished in 2020, despite the chaos. Tune into #16STRONG here! https://t.co/jzEivlKSPV

Proud of this project designed to incorporate conservation into strategic regional growth decisions.

[Thrive Regional Partnership @Thrive_RP]

People in this region don’t just enjoy nature, we need it. 🌲 Our Cradle of Southern Appalachia initiative is a partnership blueprint to achieve landscape conservation goals alongside regional economic prosperity and livability. https://t.co/3jeSc6sLtt

@MTLakesChamber @ThrivingRegion Growth happens & that's a good thing! Our goal is to promote growth while preserving what we love about living here. Our focus areas include: Natural Treasures, Community Prosperity, & Transportation & Infrastructure. These all affect how we live, work, & play. #BizChatAL

[Rhett Reeves Bentley @isabellarhett]

@MTLakesChamber @ThrivingRegion Globally, rural towns lose people to cities for jobs. But rural settings boast certain assets-nature, distinct culture, safety etc. We empower rural communities to leverage these assets-trails, festivals, historic downtowns-to create economic vibrancy & sense of place. #BizChatAL
