FARGO — Last year was unlike any other most people have ever experienced. The coronavirus pandemic has upended nearly every facet of life. The Fargo-Moorhead business and industry scene was not immune to a global health crisis, nor was Forum Communications.
Typically, Impact Magazine is published in the fall of the year, but last summer everything was still too uncertain and the pandemic had too firm a hold to publish a magazine trying to look ahead to the future.
But it's back! Impact Magazine was distributed in The Forum on Saturday and is available in print at select locations. You can also read the digital version online . Be sure to check out past issues of the magazine as well.
Stories in the magazine include:
- Message from the editor
- 2020: The unforgettable year and where we go from here
- How workplaces have been transformed
- New Moorhead mayor Shelly Carlson ready to 'effect positive change'
- Higher education met challenges, learned lessons
- Pandemic revealed problems, yet pushed changes in the food chain
- Company profiles on TrueNorth Steel , North Dakota Women's Business Center , Hanson-Runsvold Funeral Home and Nodak Insurance
- Community leader profiles on Peter Stenehjem of First International Bank & Trust , Brittany Sachdeva, Vice President of Nursing at Sanford Health and Scott Meyer, Ozbun Executive Director of Entrepreneurship at The Nice Center at NDSU
- MSUM celebrates centennial of becoming teacher college
- New Chamber president Shannon Full brings 'open ear' to organization
Note: Several of the stories included in Impact Magazine came from a Forum Communications Company-wide project called " The 2020 Project ", which looked at many more aspects of life that changed forever in the last year. You can also watch a documentary about the timeline of major events in 2020.
