Welcome!

Jeanne Crain, President and CEO of Bremer Bank and Chair of the Achieving Dreams Steering Committee As Chair of the Achieving Dreams Steering Committee, I want to thank our generous event sponsors who are noted throughout this program. I also want to express my enormous gratitude for the amazing team of corporate colleagues who helped make this event possible. With all of your generous time and financial support, together, we are making a difference in the lives of people who need us the most in our communities. Giving to Avivo is an opportunity to invest in the lives of people, future employees in our own businesses, and engaged members of our communities.

Thank you for believing everyone deserves the chance to live well and work well.

Jeanne Crain is president and chief executive officer of Bremer Financial Corporation, a $13 billion financial services organization with locations in Minnesota,

Before being promoted to her current role, Jeanne served as region CEO of Bremer Bank - Twin Cities and group president for Bremer Financial Corporation’s financial services business. Prior to joining Bremer in 2012, Jeanne enjoyed a 30-year career in commercial and retail banking, honing her collaborative leadership style, passion for relationship-based client service and ability to navigate a highly dynamic business environment through roles at BMO Harris Bank, M&I Bank, Marquette Capital Bank, Bank One Milwaukee and First Bank Grand Forks.

As an active volunteer and community leader, Jeanne serves on the board of the YMCA of the North, the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, and the Saint Paul Downtown Alliance.

She also recently co-chaired the Minnesota Task Force on Housing. Jeanne earned a master’s in business administration from Marquette University and has a bachelor’s degree from the University of North Dakota, where she was a 2018 recipient of the Sioux Award, the highest honor given by the Alumni Association and Foundation for achievement, service and loyalty. Jeanne has recently been recognized by American Banker as a Woman to Watch as a part of their 2020 Most Powerful Women in Finance recognition, and by the Minneapolis/ St. Paul Business Journal as one of their 2019 Most Admired CEOs.

Advancing health and equity for all Kelly Matter, Avivo President & CEO

Today is a time like no other. Avivo remains a stabilizing force in the Twin Cities and central Minnesota, amidst the stress and impact of COVID-19 and the civil unrest sparked by the murder of George Floyd.

Avivo’s vision is a community that is free of economic and health inequities. To be a force for change, we are committed to diversity, equity, inclusion, and undoing racism. We are committed to working harder in these areas to achieve our vision. It is going to take all of us, working together, to build stronger, healthier, and more equitable communities.

When you invest in Avivo, you are a part of transforming the lives of people who face the greatest obstacles to success. Look at what your support of Avivo can do! Last year: • Nearly 2,000 individuals and their families moved off welfare into work, • More than 800 individuals found housing and supportive services to avert homelessness, • 3,000 individuals entered jobs or careers, and • Close to 4,500 people accessed treatment and mental health services.

Our unique combination of services – chemical and mental health, housing, career education, and employment services – helps individuals secure paths to better health, stability, and advancement.

With your support, all individuals and families in our community can have the help they need to thrive. Together, we can advance health and equity for all. Thank you for being a champion to Avivo participants who are working so hard to transform their lives!

2020 Celebrated Community Leader Target Avivo’s Celebrated Community Leader Award honors an individual or community partner who is driving positive change in our community. This year’s award recognizes Target for advancing inclusion and equity for all through its longstanding support of Avivo and impact in our communities.

As early as 1982, Target provided support to Avivo to help low-income and underemployed women advance their wages and better support their families. Their support enabled Avivo to help women increase their income by at least 50 percent in a year! Target also joined Avivo in its efforts to end homelessness by supporting our transitional recovery housing. Safe housing makes all the difference and allows individuals to focus on recovery.

Over the years, 180 Target employees have volunteered in multiple ways which benefitted families and children in our programs. Recently, Target made a multi-year commitment to Avivo’s EMPATH program – which creates a bridge to permanent self-sufficiency by focusing on family stability, well-being, financial management, education, and employment.

Target is committed to innovative solutions for challenging, community problems. We recognize Target for upholding equity and inclusion for underserved and under-resourced communities that enable shared prosperity and opportunity for all. Thank you!

McGough is a proud supporter of AVIVO and the Achieving Dreams event! Thank you for the exceptional work you do for our communities! www.mcgough.com

Melissa’s Story “I can’t believe where I am now,” shares Melissa, a tribal member of Red Lake Nation. “Avivo helped me get better. I am really grateful.

With my place, I am healing.” Melissa described herself as a raging alcoholic. Homeless and actively using, she lived in a homeless encampment in Minneapolis. After Avivo helped her find housing, she stopped drinking and found support for her mental health.

Jeremy’s Story “I’m looking to the future, and I look forward to having my children in my life again,” says Jeremy. Jeremy had a successful business, a beautiful home, and a happy family. Because of personal trauma, she fell into addiction, lost everything, and ended up on the streets.

At Avivo, she was able to experience recovery. Now she is working and has found housing. She is looking forward to reuniting with her daughters.
