James F. Hanko

You were one of the first persons I met when I moved to Bemidji as the (now retired) President and Chief Executive Officer of North Country Health Services. Over these some 15 years, I feel fortunate to have worked with you in so many capacities. Each opportunity confirmed the strong initial first impression you made on me. I am especially appreciative of the leadership you provided the Drug-Free Coalition of North Central Minnesota. . .you can be justifiably proud that you were instrumental in curbing drug abuse and misuse among our area’s youth. That the Coalition is still in existence today – 13 years after it was initially formed in 2001 – is a testament to your early efforts.

As your consulting business evoves, I wish you every possible success. Organizations that contract with you will be well served and all the better for using your well-hone skills. All the best to you.
