Wow -- this year has been BIG.
As we wrapped up the fiscal year and took a close look at everything we've done, we can't help but be extremely proud of our region. In the wake of a global pandemic and mounting racial tension nationwide, new and established leaders from every corner stepped up to support residents of the Northeast Kingdom.
The NEKC's mission is to improve the quality of life for all residents of the Northeast Kingdom through coordinated economic and community development.
As the neutral, non-partisan facilitator, our role is bringing communities together to address fundamental challenges and develop plans that lead to direct and practical results. Last year, our planned focuses were:
Advancing economic development through the intersection of creative, recreational and food sectors
Advancing the next generation of leadership in the Northeast Kingdom
Additionally, we pivoted as necessary to include:
Coordinating regional responses to COVID-19
Racial justice work
