Samantha Nienow of Red Zest Design

Bemidji State University’s leadership studies program hosted a March 29 panel conversation on leadership in Bemidji. Four local leaders – Tiffany Fettig of the Headwaters Regional Finance Corp. and Greater Bemidji , Inc.; Dennis Doeden, publisher of the Bemidji Pioneer; Samantha Nienow of Red Zest Design; and Jessica Saucedo from the Rail River Folk School – discussed ways a business can incorporate a vision for community into its operations and ways non-profit and government institutions can help work together to create change in Bemidji.
