Welsc6 from the Minnesota Chapter of the American Planning <br />Association (MnAPA). <br />I met Dennis Welsch when I was a graduate student at Mankato State <br />University in 1980. Dennis was on the Board for the Minnesota Planning <br />Association and I was the student representative. Dennis was employed at <br />Red Wing at the time. Immediately, he welcomed my input as a student and <br />made sure that I felt comfortable participating with the Board. I did not have <br />the opportunity to work with Dennis again until three years ago when he <br />helped organize the "Community Development Director Forum" for <br />Community Development Directors in the north part of the metro area. As a <br />result of those meetings, I became more familiar with Dennis and what a <br />positive influence he is on his colleagues. He strives to find the best, long- <br />term solution for public issues. He seems to excel at linl�ing good ideas with <br />the right resources. He is always willing to share his experience with fellow <br />planners. Finally, the best example and testimony of Dennis' work is <br />working with his former employees. Scott Hickok is the Planning <br />Coordinator for Fridley and Meg McMonigal has also completed consultant <br />
