Thank you, Governor Kelly Armstrong, for issuing a proclamation in honor of the 50th anniversary of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This milestone reminds us how far we’ve come, and how deeply inclusion, access, and equity matter for every child. We are grateful for your recognition and support as we continue working toward a future where all students thrive.

Honoring the 2025 RLND Leader Award Recipient: Mr. Barry Medd 🌟

The RLND Leader Award recognizes individuals whose leadership and service have deeply influenced Rural Leadership North Dakota and the communities we serve. This year, we are proud to celebrate Mr. Barry Medd, whose impact has strengthened RLND and rural North Dakota in lasting ways.

Barry has spent his career helping people and communities thrive. A proud NDSU graduate and longtime agricultural and business banker, he has supported others with integrity, steadiness, and a genuine commitment to rural prosperity.

His nine years of service on the RLND Council, including time as Chair, were marked by both challenge and growth. Barry guided the program through important transitions, including the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic. His leadership helped RLND evolve its curriculum, deepen alumni engagement, and expand opportunities for future leaders across the state.

Barry’s influence reaches far beyond his professional accomplishments. He is a bridge-builder who listens with care, leads with humility, and brings people together. His service includes leadership roles with the Development Homes Board, his church community, and the Grand Forks Rotary. He has also been honored as a Friend of NDSU Extension for his unwavering support of agricultural and rural communities.

One of the most meaningful parts of Barry’s leadership is his advocacy through the 4-6-3 Foundation, created with his family in honor of his grandson Liam. Through this work, he has transformed personal grief into a mission of hope, raising awareness, reducing stigma, and helping save lives through compassion and courage.

Barry, your example continues to inspire RLND and the leaders who follow in your footsteps. Congratulations on being named the 2025 RLND Leader Award recipient. 🌟

We had a blast shopping for decorations for the trees we are decorating for the Listen Festival of Trees. One is Grinchy and one is bakery- themed. Great job, all!

We want to thank our amazing community partner, Walls Medicine Center, for conducting a flu shot clinic today at DHI. Not only did our favorite pharmacist show up with a smile and enthusiasm today, he and his crew have traveled to many of our group homes in person to bring vaccinations to our individuals supported. Thank you for all you do, Cody!
