The impactful people, projects and ideas that make this region strong will again be celebrated at the fourth annual Ideas to Actions Summit, an event hosted by the Red River Regional Council (RRRC). The event is set for November 15, 2018 at the Minto Community Center.

“We are excited to continue with the Ideas to Actions Summit take a bit of time to recognize people, ideas and projects moving communities forward throughout the region,” said Dawn Keeley, Executive Director of the RRRC.

The RRRC is seeking nominations for the 2018 North Star, Catalyst and Collaboration Awards. The North Star Award will go to an idea that illuminates opportunities or creates a guiding light for progress within a community; the Catalyst Award will recognize an individual who acts as a kickstarter for an idea or a project; and the Collaboration Award will recognize a successful project that involve teamwork and create a notable impact.

The agenda includes a networking social, a keynote presentation, and the awards presentation. All events will be held at the Minto Community Center and are free and open to the public.
