A lot can change in a year, especially at United Way of Northeastern Minnesota where our programs and partners are continually evaluated to ensure they’re making in the impact intended.

In my year as board president – in addition to operating our long-running programs and providing support to 60 nonprofits across our 11,300 square mile service area – we collaborated with leaders across the region and state to: mobilize volunteers for our first-ever Day of Action in Keewatin, respond to devastating regionwide flooding, and release the “United for ALICE” report.
