Congratulations to our 2025 program graduates!
Today we are celebrating our incredible Power Building Academy and Chisholm's Chair graduates.
These 44 individuals and organizations have spent the past year learning, organizing, and leading alongside their neighbors to build the kind of region our communities deserve. They’ve pushed for bold policy solutions, strengthened their leadership, and advanced campaigns rooted in care, equity, and community power.
