Conversations

We believe open dialogue, and an exchange of ideas, can make communities greater.

Local, regional and national leaders travel to rural communities for a 24-hour blitz of conversations and collaborations through Morning Fill Up. Since starting the monthly conversation series in 2016, nearly 60 guests have accepted the invitation to participate, and more than 6,000 people have attended. Previous guests include:

  • a Grammy-winning beat boxer

  • the CEO of the largest nonprofit provider of affordable housing in the Midwest

  • producers of the Oprah Winfrey Show and National Native News

  • the person who landed the Rover on Mars

  • …and more.

Discover more about the program and past guests on the Morning Fill Up website.
