    "Knight’s community advisory committee members play a key role in shepherding Knight investments. Their deep knowledge and caring about the community is invaluable in helping us serve the region’s needs," said Michael Maidenberg, vice president and chief program officer at Knight.

    Since 2003, Knight’s local funding has focused on a cluster of partners committed to improving the region’s business climate and enhancing, increasing and diversifying businesses in the region. Grants have included support of the Area Partnership for Economic Expansion (APEX), Arrowhead Business Connection, Northeast Entrepreneur Fund, Women in the Trades, the Eco-Industrial Task Force and the Duluth-Superior Area Community Foundation’s Civility Initiative.
