ASEC Executive Director Tiffany Litman presented to the House Capital Investment Committee at Bemidji State University this week.

Tiffany shared ASEC’s vision for an Educational Learning Center in Northwest Minnesota, a space designed to better serve students and families across our region. While House and Senate files have been introduced in the past, bonding support has not yet come through.

Tiffany continues to be a strong voice at the Capitol, advocating for the resources needed to bring this project to life. We are thankful for Tiffany’s dedication to creating greater access and opportunities for all students.💙
