After 18 years of sharing stories with southern Minnesota readers, this is my last op-ed as President and CEO of Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation (SMIF). As I prepare to retire, I do so with immense gratitude and pride. For nearly two decades, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside passionate individuals, dedicated partners and visionary communities all unified by a common goal: to build a stronger, more vibrant southern Minnesota.

***Tim Penny is the president/CEO of Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation and a former member of Congress. As Minnesota begins to turn green again, I can feel the anticipation of a new growing season. At Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation (SMIF) we look forward to planting the seeds of lasting impact at Sprout, our annual spring event, and through Acres for Good, our farmland succession program. Each year, we select a small town in our region to host Sprout.

One of the things I have enjoyed most about my 18-year tenure as president and CEO of Southern Minnesota Initiative Foundation (SMIF) is visiting with entrepreneurs when I travel across our region. At SMIF we support talented entrepreneurs with early-stage investments, loans, technical assistance, mentoring, networks, events and more.
