Welcoming and Belonging
I’m honored to represent the diverse voices and perspectives of Moorhead and Clay County on the West Central Initiative Board of Directors and support initiatives that promote ‘welcoming and belonging’ in an equitable society.
Business Financing
We really appreciate the community and foundations like Southwest Initiative Foundation that believe in small towns and ultimately small business. It’s something you don’t think about until it’s gone. We appreciate the people who appreciate that we’re here and all the help we have to stay going.
Community Building
My time with the Northland Foundation is among the most rewarding I have spent on any board. As an educator, I have seen how Northland resources and programs help communities flourish and build positive, caring environments for children, youth and families.
