Annual National Conference
“The Power of Together”
Workshop Session
Valerie Shangreaux – Director of Leadership 

 

The style and faces of leadership look different in every community, but the need for strong local leadership is paramount for creating and maintaining healthy, vibrant communities. In rural communities across Minnesota, community members and leaders are collaborating to create and lead the changes they wish to see. This session will focus on how one rural Foundation works to identify, develop and support community leaders in rural Minnesota.

Valerie Shangreaux of the Blandin Foundation will provide a landscape on how the Blandin Foundation identifies, develops and sustains rural community leaders, the successes and challenges, and lessons learned.
