TrueNorth Presented With Special Tributes in Lansing

NEWAYGO COUNTY, MI – TrueNorth CEO, Beverly Cassidy and Director of Strategic Research, Dr. David Wingard regularly spend time in Lansing, making sure State Legislators are aware of the needs of the rural poor. On a recent visit, they were presented with two Tributes, recognizing the agency’s 45 years of efforts on behalf of the rural citizens. The first, signed by twenty members from the State House of Representatives was presented to Cassidy by Scott VanSingel. The second, signed by Governor, Rick Snyder and nine members of the State Senate was presented by Senator, Goeff Hansen.

“This was a genuine surprise for us and we’re honored and humbled to be recognized by our esteemed state legislators in this manner,” said Cassidy.
