Dear Readers,
Throughout the past several weeks, we have been busy collecting
nominations for 2015 Rural Leader 40 under 40 Honors! The chosen forty will be announced in the coming weeks. Honorees will be
recognized Friday, September 4th in Americus and featured in the
September/October issue of the magazine.
Inside this edition, we feature a compilation of leadership best
practices regarding attitude, self confidence, and diversity to list a
few (See pages 5, 6, and 9).
In this issue, we also feature valuable information identity theft
(See page 21) and financial tips for adult students returning to
school (See page 30). There is also a feature on the new SAT (See
page 29) and Creative ways to offset college costs (See page 28). And
much, more!
Finally, we have started a GoFundMe Campaign to take this publication local! Check out the details here! Thank you in advance for
your support!
Happy Reading!
Sincerely,
Kuanita E. Murphy, PhD
Publisher/Editor-in-Chief
