This month, our Immediate Past President, Recording Secretary, and two additional chapter members attended the Fall Conference, hosted by in Watertown, South Dakota!
Throughout the conference, attendees participated in leadership development sessions, gained valuable insights, and connected with members across the region. From professional development and communication to team building and personal growth, they brought home new ideas to strengthen our chapter and continue supporting the missions of NEF and NFSF.
We are especially proud to recognize three of our chapter members serving as Midwest Region Committee Chairs:
🔹 Jennifer Harris – Professional Development & Education (PD&E) and Awards Chair
🔹 Sonja Norris – Safety & Health Awareness and OSHA Alliance
🔹 Cathy Sorrell – Sustainability
The conference brought together 51 members from 18 chapters, including 17 first-time attendees, highlighting the continued growth and engagement of our region.
A special thank you to Dakota Prairie Chapter #394 for hosting a wonderful event and Midwest Region President Rebecca Heustess for her leadership!
We're excited to put what we've learned into action and continue growing as leaders while supporting our chapter, industry, and communities!
