This is the first official e-newsletter of the partnership! Each month the newsletter will be emailed the last week of the month for the following month. It will include events, calendar and committee updates, announcements, relevant publication links, etc. It is our way of trying to distill the information you receive from us down to once a month (plus maybe an occasional event reminder). Feel free to email suggestions for the newsletter to nocomfg@gmail.com.
Please welcome Christine Juker as the first part-time paid staff for the partnership. Christine will be providing admin support to the organization and relieving Becky Troyer and FRCC of these extra responsibilities. Christine can be reached at nocomfg@gmail.com.
A huge thank you to Becky Troyer and the team at FRCC for providing such amazing support to the partnership from its inception. Our growth is in great part due to their ability to keep things organized and to provide outstanding service and ongoing communication to the members!
