Horizons Program Sponsors Michael Shuman Workshop

On April 15, Michael Shuman, nationally known author of Going Local and The Small Mart Revolution, addressed a group of about 60 Washington citizens in a workshop on How We Can Build a Prosperous Local Economy. At the workshop held at the Grace Baptist Church in White Salmon, Michael presented ideas on what local communities can do to create vibrant, self-reliant, community-based economic networks. He also highlighted trends in the national and global economy and explained how consumers, investors, policymakers and others can revitalize their own communities.
