Overview
VWND mobilizes western ND's energy counties, providing the resources necessary to ensure each consortium member can promote a positive quality of life within their own communities. A grassroots consortium of citizens and leaders advocate for solving their own community needs, yet promote cooperation, unity, and volunteerism as a region. Members review the Regional Plan annually to determine the most pressing issues for the year. Because VWND's region is so rural and so large, communication and outreach is essential to achieving the mission of the organization. Members are kept informed through a monthly newsletter and social media. News of a more urgent nature is communicated to the consortium members directly through emails. Much of the work of the consortium is conducted through committees whose members consist of consortium members and organizational partners. The administrative team sends the meeting notices and takes minutes of the meetings, but committee members do most of the work. VWND is an organization of people, agencies, organizations, and subdivisions that are dedicated to maintaining a good quality of life in western ND.
