Thank You, Barb!
We'd like to extend a sincere thank you to our outgoing Board President, Barb Smith.

Barb provided exceptional leadership and a steady hand during the past year. Barb is a strong advocate for our region and its businesses. During her tenure as President, Greater Bemidji increased its commitment to small, locally owned businesses, developed resources to add additional child care in the region, and successfully launched a partnership with Sanford Health and the City of Bemidji to redevelop the rail corridor to include the proposed sports and wellness complex.

Thank you for your leadership Barb. Job very well done.
