Brief Summary of Minutes of Annual Meeting

In its second year, W1001 members continued analyses of growth and change in rural populations at national and regional levels. This research was based on use of 1990 and 2000 Census data combined with survey and other sources of data. William Kandel and David Brown continued their work as editors of the volume, Population Change and Rural Society, with several members of W1001 contributing chapters to the volume. The book has been accepted for publication by Kluwer Plenum's well-regarded demography series (now Springer Publishing), edited by Kenneth Land of Duke University. The book is expected to be in print by spring 2005. Two sessions organized around chapters in the book were presented at the Rural Sociological Society Annual Meeting in Sacramento, CA in August, 2004. W1001 members presented numerous other papers on rural population change at several professional conferences held during the year. W1001 members have identified the theme, Migration and Population Redistribution, with three sub-themes, which will be addressed in a day-long mini-conference to be held in conjunction with next year's annual meeting. The major outreach accomplishment of W1001 was the Population Change and Rural Society Conference held in January 2004. The Economic Research Service (ERS) hosted the two-day conference that each day drew over 120 attendees representing a wide range of government branches, policy organizations, and academic institutions. Attendees represented numerous branches of the USDA, including the Rural Development mission area, FCA, CNNP, CSREES, and NASS. Other Federal agencies represented included GAO, FDIC, and several branches of HHS. Researchers appeared from a wide variety of D.C.-based policy organizations, including Brookings Institution, Housing Assistance Council, Aspen Institute, Population Reference Bureau, Annie E. Casey Foundation, and Urban Institute. Attendance, however, was not confined to the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Visitors also came from the Delta Regional Authority, the North Dakota Farmers Union, from various academic institutions across the U.S., as well as Ottawa, Canada and Sydney, Australia. Presentation abstracts have been posted on ERS's website. Several of the committee's members gave other outreach presentations at a number of different venues. The committee is now planning a series of issue briefs to be posted on the websites of all four regional rural development centers. A Stakeholder Involvement Sub-committee has been formed, which will identify stakeholders and gather information from them during the coming year to be used to develop the kinds of demographic analyses and information that will be most useful to stakeholder groups.
