Consultant urges board to let her explore biotech and CTE partnerships, presents fundraising draft
Summary
Raya Waltman, identifying herself as a client executive with Max Stratt, presented a fundraising/marketing draft (Buffalo Legacy) and urged the board to allow exploratory outreach to potential partners for CTE and biotechnology opportunities; figures in the draft sum to about $2,000,000 as a planning estimate, with no district financial commitment requested at this stage.
Raya Waltman, a client executive representing Max Stratt, presented an updated fundraising and outreach draft called the Buffalo Legacy campaign and asked the board’s blessing to explore partnerships and grant opportunities to strengthen CTE and biotechnology pathways in Stanley County. "What I specifically wanna talk to you today about is, again, we've been working and thinking about how can we support Stanley County in this next phase," Waltman said, describing a feasibility-informed list of projects the campaign would seek to fund over the next three to five years.
Waltman told the board the draft package includes estimated project-level figures that "add up to $2,000,000," which she characterized as a planning target intended to build momentum if the district elects to pursue partnerships. She emphasized there would be no immediate financial obligation for the district: "None of this right now is going to cost you anything. It is just exploring," she said. Board members asked for additional detail on cost breakdowns and suggested staff review figures with district administrators before any public rollout or solicitation.
