 Cher
Hersrud, DirectorThe
Resource Center has just completed its fourth year of operation,
as a division of the North Dakota Community Foundation. |
| |
Support from The Otto Bremer Foundation has allowed me to work
with more than 100 nonprofit organizations in areas of planning,
board training, and fundraising. |
| |
They
say time flies when you are having fun and there is never a dull
moment for The Resource Center. I have the pleasure of working
with the many committed North Dakotans who manage and sustain the
nonprofit organizations and rural communities across this state.
It is an understatement to say that I love my job. |
| |
Volunteer effort in North Dakota provides youth programs, health
services, community development, and arts education. When there
is a need within a community, North Dakotans organize to meet that
need. This commitment to community is inspiring. |
| |
It
is the goal of The Resource Center to support this effort and to
strengthen nonprofit organizations and rural communities, and
their ability to meet the needs within the state. |
| |
Funding from The Otto Bremer Foundation and the support of The
North Dakota Community Foundation allows me to work with small
nonprofit organizations for little or no fee. This is significant
statewide support. |
| |
Rural community development is a real issue within the state. We
may not all grow, but we can maintain our quality of life.
Planning and collaboration are keys to community success. |
| |
To
support rural community development, regional workshops will be
offered in 2002 to support community project development. |
