Kramer explained that this event is part of the meeting cycle that the organization does.
The meeting opened with a financial report by Treasurer Sara Wellik followed by an overview of 2022 by board member and Britt Mayor Ryan Arndorfer. The members elected its Board of Directors along with its officers.
Board member Christy Marchand awarded Key Contributor Awards to the Hancock County Hospital and the John K. Hanson Career Center among others. Kramer stated that the awards program was fairly new to the annual meeting.
