Brent Comstock with BCom Solutions was the guest speaker. Comstock spoke about providing opportunities to keep the young people from our rural areas in our rural areas.

During the annual meeting, board members were elected for the new year, with Angel Elliott, Irv Schwalm, and Virginia Freese all selected for roles of service. Moore continues to serve as President.

Mikaela Moore recently began work as the new director of HFED, replacing Kristen Hillyer who resigned in May after serving as director for more than 2 years.
