LINC Redwood County was founded in June of 2016. Amanda Monroe and Claire Meyers brought together the Redwood County Blandin cohort of 2015 to begin work with the University of Minnesota Extension in planning for a bridging program for Redwood County. A design team was created and launched the program year in September of 2017.
The LINC Redwood County Design Team consisted of the following members:
- Claire Meyers
- Amanda Monroe
- Briana Mumme
- Jake Jenniges
- Wade McKittrick
- Samantha Loomis
- Gary Prescott
- Cindy LaBrie
- Heather Koffler
- Priscilla Klabunde
- Sharon Hollatz
- Dan Roman
- Tom Quackenbush
- Sarah Kuglin
In September of 2017, the Design Team evolved and became a Steering Committee. When bylaws were developed in 2019, the Steering Committee transitioned and became a Board of Directors.
