Kay Shipman  Published: Feb 20, 2012 Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon has planned the first in a series of rural listening sessions for March 6 in the Four Points by Sheraton Hotel and Conference Center, Peoria. The event will be in Salon D from 4 to 6 p.m. Simon chairs the Governor’s Rural Affairs Council and is hosting the session in partnership with the Illinois Institute for Rural Affairs at Western Illinois University. The sessions will provide an opportunity for rural elected officials, policymakers, and local leaders to share their insights on rural issues with Simon and the Governor’s Rural Affairs Council. Information gathered will form the basis for a strategic agenda for rural Illinois. This will include specific policy recommendations and action items for the Rural Affairs Council and its member agencies. For information, contact Christina Rogers, Simon’s policy adviser for rural affairs, at 217-558-3727 or by e-mail at Christina.Rogers@illinois.gov.   Permalink: Click here Comments Read comments from others and share your own thoughts.
