About this Event
Mountaineer Masterclass + Wild & Wonderful Policy Summit
Get ready for an exciting in-person event where you’ll dive into the world of policy with a twist! The Mountaineer Masterclass pairs perfectly with the Wild & Wonderful Policy Summit for a day full of learning, networking, and inspiration.
This one-day summit will bring together elected officials, policymakers, industry leaders from Washington, DC and stakeholders from across West Virginia featuring a masterclass on Land Water Conservation Funding (LWCF) grants, and policy discussion on agritourism.
This summit will explore the practical requirements if your community is looking for federal funding to deliver a new recreational project, developing its outdoor economy, or considering opportunities in agritourism.
West Virginia communities have a unique opportunity to learn from the expert who helped write the legislation for LWCF -- Lesley Kane Szynal, Chair of the LWCF Coalition in Washington, DC. will lead the masterclass.
West Virginia Senate Majority Leader Patricia Rucker will lead a panel discussion focused on agritourism policy, bringing together perspectives from state government, agriculture, and federal partners to discuss emerging opportunities for economic and community development throughout West Virginia.
