William and Holly Anderson, Crookston, MN, will receive special recognition for their commitment to leadership and their community at the Agassiz Leaders Awards Banquet on Saturday, March 31 at the University of Minnesota Crookston. They, along with individuals from fifteen other counties in northwestern and west central Minnesota will be recognized for their involvement.
William is an Ag/Business banker at American Federal Bank. He is also a Financial Advisor with American Federal Investments. He helps hard working people meet their goals. Holly is the Director of Emergency Management, Zoning and Environmental Services in Kittson County. Her office is in Hallock.
William and Holly are Polk (West) County’s representatives in the Red River Valley Emerging Leadership Program. They have been taking part in educational sessions along with other rural leaders since November 2011. Those sessions focused on personal leadership styles, communication, community leadership, legislative issues, shared vision, dealing with conflict, and facilitating effective meetings.
This is the 28th year the Emerging Leadership Program has brought together individuals from across the region for recognition and training seminars. There are now more than 900 leaders in northwest and west central Minnesota who are alumni of the program. The program, which grew out of the King Agassiz Program of the Red River Valley Winter Shows, was developed in 1985 by a small group of people who felt there was a need to help individuals develop their leadership potential. It continues to focus on the belief that effective leadership can be learned and that leaders grow into positions of leadership, motivated by a sense of responsibility for themselves and their communities.
The Emerging Leadership Program is a program of the University of Minnesota Extension and the Northwest Minnesota Foundation. Major financial contributions for the program are made available through the Red River Valley Development Association and the West Central Initiative. Additional support for the program comes from ag producer groups, electric cooperatives, community businesses, and individuals in counties throughout northwest and west central Minnesota who contribute financially to the program each year.
Family and friends of William and Holly, and program alumni, are invited to attend the March 31 banquet in Crookston. Tickets can be ordered from the Extension Regional Office~Roseau by calling 218-463-0291 -or- toll free 1-888-241-4546.
