Together, we can strive to build rural Texas communities that are efficient, stronger and more prosperous, for all its businesses and residents.

What are our Members saying?

“The ARCIT conference most definitely will prove to be the most impactful out of all of the trainings, conferences and seminars I have attended over the years, and there have been many! I appreciate how relevant every speaker's content was to the work of rural communities and am anxious to get a few new projects and initiatives kicked off as a result of attending the 2024 ARCIT Conference!”
