Resume of Executive Director Jarid Funderburg & Growth Dimensions Minutes

It required a Freedom of Information Request but Growth Dimension’s Executive Director did provide his resume.  The FOIA request to the City of Belvidere is below the resume. I desired the resume which Mr. Funderburg use tod apply for the Growth Dimension position but that was not supplied.

Board Minutes from Growth Dimensions general board meetings were also obtained.
