🎉 Congratulations to the graduates of the first-ever District Manager Professional Development Cohort (DMPD), sponsored by MASWCD!

Over the course of a year, 13 district managers from Soil and Water Conservation Districts (SWCDs) across Minnesota came together for seven in-depth, multi-day sessions designed to enhance their management skills, financial acumen and operational efficiency while strengthening relationships with peers, exchanging ideas and experiences, and building confidence in their ability to lead effective teams and advance conservation work across Minnesota.

This year's inaugural cohort included Brayden Anderson (Yellow Medicine SWCD), Riley Buley (Fillmore SWCD), Lindsey Cornell (Freeborn SWCD), Tiffany Determan (Isanti SWCD), Ashley Gallagher (Dakota SWCD), Kay Gross (Cottonwood SWCD), Jessica Klingfus (Dodge SWCD), Aaron Larsen (West Otter Tail SWCD), Bryan Malone (Becker SWCD), Jaren Peplinski (Kanabec SWCD), Carrie Schultz (Watonwan SWCD), Tara Solem (Lake SWCD), and Paul Swanson (Pine SWCD).
