RTED
Group: The Power of Connection
 The
Rural Technology
and Economic Development
(RTED) Group is a nonprofit organization
that spawned from an assignment for a class at Johns Hopkins
University. Responding to her husband's observation
about the tremendous need for technological resources in
his hometown of Tillery, North Carolina, RTED Group Founder,
Wendy M. Edmonds accepted the charge.
What she found in Tillery
was a small, rural community disconnected not only from
neighboring townships but the world! What was ignited in
Mrs. Edmonds that day was a passion for bringing abundance
to rural communities by connecting them to resources that
significantly enhance their quality of life.
Program Overview and Sponsorship Opportunities
The company offers support
and training to address three crucial categories of need:
community assessment, program development,
and capacity building. While every individual area
operates in its own phase, it is important that communities
understand the process to adequately prepare for growth.
