Our guests today, Rayna Sage and Lillie Greiman, traveled all the way from the University of Montana, Missoula, to meet with LINC staff in Twin Falls and collaborate on our work together empowering Idahoans with disabilities in the rural parts of our service area. Rayna is a rural sociologist who began working with the University of Montana’s Research and Training Center on Disability in Rural Communities in 2016. Lillie’s work, since joining the Center in 2012, has focused on housing, community participation, rural community development, and spatial and demographic analysis. Both Rayna and Lillie are Project Directors with the Center and they join LINC’s own Independent Living Specialist, Emily Petersen, to discuss our ongoing rural outreach and engagement project.
