Our very own President/CEO Coiya Tompkins Inman was invited to join the Podcast with@grandcitiesliving Courtney Barstad Logan, where Coiya shared about CVIC's history, services and ways the community can support our efforts.
Courtney also surprised us with the news that in 2024 her real estate clients can choose from four Grand Forks non-profits for a portion of her sales commission to be donated to, and CVIC is one of them! Thank you for this generous surprise, and for supporting our clients, Courtney.
Put this on in the background as you go about your day today and learn something new about CVIC, then share it with someone else!
