At the recent 6th Annual Iowa Rural Summit, a member of a Dallas County business was the recipient of an inaugural award.

The 6th Annual Iowa Rural Summit included a special recognition of “rural heroes” and Minburn Communications CEO Debra Lucht was announced as the recipient of the inaugural Rand Fisher Rural Leadership Award which is sponsored by the Iowa Area Development Group Community Foundation. 

The Rural Summit features leaders from small towns from across Iowa coming together each year and this year’s event featured a tribute to a group of individuals who have made a difference in their rural community or region and Lucht was one of seven individuals honored at a special reception.

The Iowa Rural Summit also addresses a variety of issues ranging from ag tech innovation to arts and culture and entrepreneurship and took place at Iowa State University in Ames.
