Executive Director of the Region XII Council of Governments, Rick Hunsaker, has been elected to serve as Treasurer of the National Association of Development Organizations (NADO). NADO Executive Director, Joe McKinney, says they are honored to have Rick serve as Treasurer as he brings a wealth of knowledge, expertise, and leadership in regional community and economic development issues to the national level. “Most importantly, he is focused on helping our nation’s local communities pursue comprehensive, regional strategies for remaining economically competitive in today’s rapidly changing global environment,” McKinney adds. Hunsaker, who will serve through October of 2022, will work with the NADO Board of Directors, which oversees the association’s budget and operations and develops policy on issues affecting regional development organizations. Founded in 1967, NADO provides training, information and representation for regional development organizations throughout the United States. The board election was held at last week’s NADO annual business meeting and training conference in Portland, Ore.
