COLUMBUS, Ind. — Engage Columbus, a program of the Heritage Fund, announced Lara Hodson as the new program manager.
Hodson replaces Leah Retrum, who served as the Community Navigator in 2015. Retrum was integral in the successful launch of the program. Hodson previously served as an Americorps member with Engage Columbus and was responsible for working with clients to identify their needs and connecting them with community resources.
Engage Columbus was established as a program of the Heritage Fund in March 2015 with the purpose of connecting community members to the information, resources, opportunities and people that will make them feel welcomed and engaged in the community.
Hodson will manage all aspects of the Engage Columbus program including overall strategic and operational responsibility for programs, growth and execution of its mission.
