Glenwood & Beyond was first organized to prepare for the Minnesota Design Team (MDT) visit in June 2006.  At the conclusion of the visit, the group transitioned to implementing some of the projects that the MDT recommended, as well as, other community improvement projects that arise.

Glenwood & Beyond consists of local volunteers that serve on the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors.

The Executive Committee meets every two months, and its main function is to drive the implementation process, set priorities and the planning steps for upcoming projects and oversee the Board of Directors. The Executive Committee consists of a President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary.  They can participate on project committees.

The Board of Directors consists of volunteers who meet every two months.  They are a cross section of community members who have an enthusiasm for and commitment to our community.  Many of the Board of Directors members will lead or work on the various project committees. 

The project committees will include volunteers who will meet according to their project needs and to "get the ball rolling" on their particular projects.  These committees will execute the necessary steps to implement the projects.  They will research the project's overall feasibility and cost, connect with community leaders and decision-makers on the viability of the project, prepare and coordinate logistics and see the project through completion.  The project committees will update the board of directors with their progress and bring any challenges or issues to them for discussion and direction.
