Our Founder: Teresa Kittridge

100 Rural Women got its jump start when founder, Teresa Kittridge, invited a handful of women to join her in Marcell, MN. They spent the day focused on talking about the needs, assets, and how to better support each other. Every woman in that room raised their hand to help make this happen. More Information Here

Programs

Morning Connections: Morning Connections is an informal meeting series that consist off light conversation over zoom. If you’re looking for a space to take time for yourself to just connect with others, we invite you to join us. Bring beverages, children, breakfast, pets, or work – the goal is to connect informally with other women and a host who will facilitate. We look forward to networking with you! Register Here

Podcast: We have met countless women who deserve the spotlight. They’ve navigated challenges, broken barriers, forged connections, and kept moving forward. They are inspired and inspiring. They are joyful, curious, and making a difference. This podcast is a place to share their stories and leadership journeys. We feature women from all walks of life — across ages, geographies, cultures, races, professions, socioeconomic backgrounds, and worldviews. Tune in each week as we shine a light on these remarkable women and the impact they’re making.

Reading Room: Welcome to our monthly book club, the 100 Rural Women Reading Room! This is a space for women to come together and engage as a community with other readers. At these meetings, we spend time discussing the book, asking themed questions, and sharing our thoughts. Register Here
