Kudos to Heather VanStratt! Heather VanStratt, Extended Education & Training’s new Grant Manager & Community Coordinator, oversaw her first NoMI Attainment Collaborative (NOMIAC) meeting on Friday, October 10 (the new collaborative’s fourth in-person meeting within 14 months). The in-person meeting convened at GROW Benzie, hosted by Josh Stoltz and Maggie Bacon (BEST Benzie). Individuals reviewed their organizations’ strategic plans to draw alignment with the NOMIAC’s initiative of Sixty by 30. This meeting was full of enthusiasm for the good work that these organizations are already doing in our communities, and for the potential of continued and elevated collaboration between organizations.
