The North Country Alliance Education and Outreach Committee will meet virtually on December 6 at 11:00am.

All NCA members are welcome to join the meeting.

The NCA's Outreach and Education committee promotes an understanding of the NCA and member priorities to the region's elected representatives. The committee is chaired by Jeremy Evans, Franklin County IDA, and members represent a diverse background in business, economic development organizations, and community development organizations from across the North Country. Each year the committee develops an Outreach Agenda clarifying the organization's policy priorities. 

The agenda for the December 6th meeting will cover:

• NCA Strategic Plan Implementation
• Upcoming NYS Budget Session

The NCA Membership and Communications committees are requesting some quick help from you. 

Your NCA membership is an organizational membership, but for most of our organizations, we have only one contact. We know that many of you work in organizations that have several people that might also be interested in NCA communications and events. Please add their names to our database by filling out the form at this link.

If you are NOT an NCA member already, and believe your organization can benefit from participating, here is a link to the membership form.

The NCA launched a new strategic plan at the Annual meeting in June after eight months of collaborative work. A copy of the plan is available at this link.

The Board called upon committee chairs to update the board on progress toward their strategic objectives at the last meeting.  

Brian Gladwin reported for the Loan Review Committee that more banks should be made aware of NCA’s programs and the committee intends to put together some calls and meetings to talk about additional funding sources in Q1 2023.

Jeremy Evans reported for Education and Outreach that the committee will meet before the next NCA board meeting to build a 2023 timeline to meet strategic objectives (see above).

Joe Russo reported that the Communications committee plans to deliver two virtual events in 2023 in addition to the two in-person events.

The newly established Membership Committee has begun to gather the information needed to best define their goals, and committee chair Rob Aiken will gather that information into one database as the base of the outreach plan.
