In early 2017, I had the pleasure of working with the Nonprofit Centers Network and the Inter County Community Council (ICCC) of Thief River Falls, MN to create a pre-development strategy exploring the potential for a nonprofit center. As part of the planning process, we facilitated a Town Hall meeting to engage stakeholders from area nonprofit organizations, public agencies, and small businesses. After the meeting, several participants voiced strong appreciation for the opportunity to convene, learn more about local services, and share ideas about the needs of the local community and service providers. I very much look forward to staying in touch with the ICCC as plans continue to develop.
