MICHAEL WAGLER
This month, we are focused on Main Street communities and the unique position they hold in driving local economic development. With the holidays right around the corner, we want to explore the seen and unseen community benefits of buying local.
This week, Lynnae Marty Hentzen will kick off the series with Michael Wagler, state coordinator at Main Street Iowa. Michael is an experienced community development and historic preservation professional with a demonstrated history of nonprofit and government sector work. He has a passion for empowering people and places through community engagement, strategic discussions, and a lead-by-example style of leadership.
