Jay Trusty, Executive Director, Southwest Regional Development Commission in Minnesota presented on how SRDC is working with the Southwest Minnesota Housing Partnership and Harrison Kanzler, Executive Director, AHEAD, Inc. in New Hampshire presented on how AHEAD is working with North Country Council.
The NADO Research Foundation and NeighborWorks America have built a new mapping tool meant to boost collaboration between Economic Development Districts (EDDs) and NeighborWorks America Network Affiliate organizations. Use this mapping tool to find which EDDs/NeighborWorks America Network Affiliate organizations are working in your area.
