Fargo Moorhead West Fargo Chamber Recognizes Hansen among 2014-2015 Leadership Graduates
Dr. T. J. Hansen, Associate Professor in the Department of Economics, Law & Politics at Minnesota State University Moorhead, was one of the 37 members of the 2014-2015 Leadership Fargo Moorhead West Fargo class recognized at a graduation ceremony on May 14, 2015 at the Bluestem Center for the Arts in Moorhead, MN.
The 2014-2015 leadership class members were selected in a competitive process in summer 2014 and completed a nine-month leadership program organized by the Fargo Moorhead West Fargo Chamber of Commerce. In addition to engaging in leadership development activities, class members volunteered at local nonprofit organizations, interacted with entrepreneurs and leaders from the region, and participated in Fargo-West Fargo day at the North Dakota legislature.
Each leadership graduate was also part of a team that provided professional expertise to a local nonprofit organization. The team Hansen was a member of assisted Farm in the Dell of the Red River Valley (www.farminthedellrrv.org) with its spring event to grow funds and friends in the region. Proceeds of this event and Community Supported Agriculture shares will advance the organization’s goal of securing a home and land northeast of Moorhead where people with special needs can farm in cooperation with volunteers from the region in a community garden setting.
