From the Regional Sustainable Development Partnerships? Statewide Office

Greetings from your statewide office. I?ve been able to visit nearly all of the regional board meetings in recent weeks and appreciate getting to know the board members and gain a better understanding of your work. In the past couple of months I?ve felt I?m hitting my stride as your statewide director. But I need to take my direction from you?the regional boards?so please let me know how I can best serve as your staff person located in St. Paul.

Greetings from your Partnership statewide office. Our Statewide Coordinating Committee meets this week (Wednesday, December 7) and the theme is ?creating and communicating the value of the Partnerships.? We will discuss doing a thorough evaluation of the Partnerships? work since they were formed. The new dean of Extension, Beverly Durgan, will be joining our meeting and staying for lunch. The Central region is bringing additional board member to sit in on the SCC meeting and I would like to encourage any board members who are interested to join us for our every other month meetings.
