Luther Snow gets rural.  He sees ruralness as a strength, not a weakness.  As a rural resident himself, Luther understands that rural residents and leaders care passionately about our communities, because we love it here!  He's been a national leader in the movement toward Positive Rural Development.  He is the author of the groundbreaking book in this effort, The Organization of Hope:  A Workbook for Rural Asset-Based Community Development.  Most of all, he has successfully trained and facilitated thousands of rural participants across the nation to build on our rural assets to get things done for the better.  That's why he's considered by some to be "one of the top five rural development experts in the nation."
