Attend SERN and Do Some Networking

Here’s an opportunity to make some connections for your library: The Southeast Nebraska Resource Network (SERN) will hold their 3d Quarterly meeting on Wednesday August 25, 2010 at the Seward Civic Center. The Southeast Nebraska Resource Network (SERN) is a group of development resource and service providers, and community volunteers interested in the betterment of Southeast Nebraska.   Anyone with an interest in community and economic development in Southeast Nebraska may become a SERN Member and attend SERN Meetings.   SERN members meet quarterly to discuss new initiatives, successes and share information regarding resources, programs and projects in Southeast Nebraska.   SERN’s quarterly meeting format includes a morning meeting, optional lunch, and an afternoon program on a topic of interest for the Southeast Nebraska Region.    This is an excellent opportunity for local community leaders and volunteers to be connected with Federal, State, and Local resource and service providers to discuss ideas and opportunities for potential projects.  Local area leaders and volunteers are encouraged to attend a SERN meeting in your area to connect with providers and discuss successful and potential community and economic development projects and initiatives. The SERN Region includes the Counties (and their communities) of:  Polk, Butler, Saunders, York, Seward, Lancaster, Cass, Otoe, Fillmore, Saline, Gage, Johnson, Nemaha, Thayer, Jefferson, Pawnee, and Richardson.  To be added to the SERN Email Distribution list or for more information about SERN, please contact one of the SERN Co-Chairs:  Jen Olds at 402-475-2560 (jolds@sendd.org) or Whitney Bumgarner at 402-471-6281 or whitney.bumgarner@nebraska.gov.
