Idaho communities.

The Summit will include presentations by the Horizons communities on their action items and community visions, as well as guided networking sessions to connect the partners and commmunities. The community presentations will not only give the other Horizons communities, but partnering organizations as well, an idea of the upcoming work that will be done in the region.
