Berrien RESA

Yesterday, we recognized the unsung efforts of community members who made a tremendous impact in our classrooms. The entities and individuals being recognized are nominated by Berrien RESA staff and scored against a rubric that measures their longstanding commitment to supporting education. The recipients are honored not only in front of all of Berrien RESA’s employees during its annual Closing Day celebration, but their names are also engraved on a sculpture housed at the Administrative Center, affectionately called the “Partnership Tree”.

Berrien Community Foundation, Flowers Early Learning, Corewell Health Lakeland Hospitals, Broad Street Cafe, DarkHorseConsulting, Hulings & Associates

The services and programs we provide are only as strong as the partnerships we form to deliver those opportunities. Without the help of area businesses, community groups, agencies, and volunteers, none of what Berrien RESA does would be possible. THANK YOU!
