ADA FEATURED IN ASPEN INSTITUTE CASE STUDY
February 7, 2023 by Jessika Leatherbury
What is it? The Ada Jobs Foundation was highlighted in a recent case study by the Aspen Institute Community Strategies Group. This is the second case study in their What’s Working in Rural series which “examines how rural communities with limited staffing and resources can understand, prepare for, and compete for finite federal funds.”
Key Quote: “90% of our job is translation. What do our partners care about? How do we put this key information so they’ll pick up on it?
We are very appreciative of the opportunity to be a part of this series and share our experience.
