Annual dinner

ANNUAL DINNER SPONSOR- FRANDSEN BANK & TRUST

Every year, the VHEDC hosts a dinner event where we celebrate our members’ accomplishments, recognize winners of our annual awards contests and raise money through a silent auction. The 2024 event took place on November 14 at The Vadnais Commons.

Our guest presenter was Liz Nolby, who spoke on the topic of winning attitudes at work. The VHEDC greatly appreciates the numerous sponsors who helped make the 2024 event happen, including presenting sponsor Frandsen Bank & Trust, which has been an active member of the VHEDC for several years.
Along with its generous support of our annual dinner, Frandsen Bank & Trust is also one of the major sponsors of our organization’ s annual golf tournament. Bank Vice President / VHEDC President Megan Dohmen chairs the event.
Plus, Frandsen Bank & Trust supports several other nonprofits in the community. Kevin Kelly, Market President, serves on the board of the Vadnais Heights Area Community Foundation and the Century College Foundation; Rich McNamara, Senior Vice President of Commercial Lending, is on the Finance Committee at Merrick, Inc.; and Caleb Peterson, Assistant Vice
“ Everybody that works here, for the most part, has lived in the area for years. These are our friends and neighbors that we are working with, and volunteering our time with.”- Kevin Kelly, Market President, Frandsen Bank & Trust
