We're sending you great online sessions this year. When COVID shut down the conference, we were so bummed.
Moving forward, we hope to connect with even more of you online!
A great lineup of boots-on-the-ground presenters who really know what they're talking about! Got questions? Bring them! They'll present, then we'll all discuss! More info here.

This is a great lineup of advisors. Healthy economic development requires good planning. This panel will help you think about it for your community.
Be there and bring your questions!
Some are upcoming. Others are already there to inspire you and for you to enjoy. Take a look!
If you want to explore your region of West Virginia for a year and get to know a lot of people, take a look at this.

After a year with Try This, you will know your region SO much better. We try to hire people who live there and want to stay there. Click on the map for more information about this opportunity. Deadline: Sept. 5.
Miss the conference shoutouts?
Want some inspiration?
We put shoutouts from two spring regional gatherings on the Try This YouTube for you!

Take a look, get inspired, and be proud of your fellow West Virginians!
Brittney Barlett has almost completed her first year as Try This Executive Director. Ordinarily, a new director would be able to spend a lot of time traveling, meeting people, getting the feel of Try This. COVID said no! She made it work anyhow! Read her reflections and hopes for the coming year.
