About VEMA

To lift up the voices of all people in our communities that experience racism, discrimination, injustice and/or predjudice. To enact change, educate, and provide cultural experiences. To provide resources to community members who are affected by issues of racism, discrimination, and injustice.

VEMA was founded in the spring of 2020 following the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Seraphia Gravelle (Aguallo), Elizabeth Robinson (Allen), and Nathaniel Coward began the work of educating the community and providing a voice for people of color throughout the region. Historically there has been a lack of representation as well as complaints and concerns falling on the deaf ears of the leaders of the regional community. VEMA stands united to work against racism and injustice. Through educating not only the members of VEMA but also the community surrounding them, they intend on chipping away at the systemic and blatant racism that exists throughout their community. In addition to education, a priority of VEMA is to ensure accurate and adequate representation as the community as a whole works to disrupt racism and discrimination.

Chisholm Bond Referendum Presentation logo

Chisholm Bond Referendum Presentation

Stop in to Valentini’s Super Club on October 24th at 6PM for the ISD 695 Chisholm Bond Referendum Presentation concerning costs and consolidation! Presented by the Referendum “Yes” Committee.

The ISD 695 Chisholm Bond Referendum Presentation will answer questions you may have such as: 

  • What is included in the $32 million referendum?
  • How does this affect tax payers?
  • What would be the financial impacts of consolidation?

The presentation will be by Michael Hoheisel who joined Baird in 2014 and has over 40 years of public finance expertise. He understands serving as your financial partner requires not only a complete and detailed understanding of your goals and priorities but the expertise and resources to tailor financing solutions that are both comprehensive and long term.

His primary focus over the last decade is providing financial services to school districts in the upper Midwest, specifically in Minnesota and South Dakota. In addition, he has assisted clients across the nation with their particular financing needs. Hoheisel is affiliated with the Minnesota School Boards Association, the Minnesota Association of School Administrators, the Minnesota Association of School Business Officials and the Minnesota Rural Education Association. He earned his Bachelor of Science in Management and Finance from St. John’s University.

 

There will also be two other meetings taking place on Thursday, October 20th at The Balkan Community Center at 6PM & Tuesday, November 1st at Tom & Jerry’s Bar at 6PM. These presentations will be held by Superintendent Adrian Norman and are also opportune times to further learn more about what the Referendum is, what consolidation would mean for Chisholm, and why the issue is important for all Chisholm residents.

Please come out and be prepared to make an informed vote in November. We will also try to film meetings in order to provide the information to those who won’t be able to attend, but if you are able these will be important meetings to listen in on as well as have your questions answered.
