Moorhead Business Association reports job fair, regular programs and member partnerships
Summary
Stacia Seitzma, executive director of the Moorhead Business Association, told the Moorhead EDA about a successful April job fair, regular member meeting schedules and ongoing nonprofit–business connections.
Stacia Seitzma, executive director of the Moorhead Business Association, told the Moorhead Economic Development Authority on an update that the association hosted a job fair April 16 with 30 vendors at the Minnesota State University Moorhead alumni center and continues weekly and monthly member meetings to support local businesses and nonprofits.
Seitzma said the job fair, sponsored by American Crystal Sugar Company, was the MBA’s second annual fair and the first hosted at the MSUM alumni center, and described it as “a fantastic afternoon of connecting and networking.” She outlined the MBA’s regular programming: weekly meetings on Wednesdays at noon at the American Legion for business members, and a nonprofit connect meeting on the third Thursday of each month at 7:30 a.m. at Village Inn.
The nut graf: The MBA’s events and networking, Seitzma said, are intended to strengthen business–nonprofit ties and to promote employment in the Moorhead area; the association also fields requests for assistance from businesses looking to grow.
In remarks after the presentation, EDA members welcomed Seitzma and said they expected to see increased collaboration between the EDA and the MBA going forward. Seitzma also noted recent and planned programming: a retirement event for a longtime local volunteer at Swing Barrel, and an upcoming nonprofit presentation by “Lehi a hand up.”
The association asked participants and members to reach out for support with growth and event participation; no formal action or funding decisions were taken during the briefing.
