News from the Friends of Mascoma Foundation

Eula Lee Kozma, the foundation’s executive director, asked us to post this:

The Friends of Mascoma Foundation has been working with the UNH Extension on a project called Mascoma Builds Community Resilience. UNH Extension received a grant to facilitate this project in three rural NH communities; Mascoma was selected as one of the three. While this is different from the Enfield Master Planning process that a group is undertaking in Enfield, we will be working collaboratively.  

As rural communities emerge from the Covid-19 pandemic, we working together to gather information, make organizational connections, apply lessons learned, and re-emerge stronger than ever.

We are working to:


- Build a regional team of partners and community members interested in building resiliency in the Mascoma region.
- Come together as a community to learn about each other, our assets, and where to go from here.
- Begin to identify ways to build resiliency in community and to take action as part of a regional team.

Ways to get involved today:

  1. LAST CALL FOR THE SNA: As part of the Mascoma Builds Community Resilience project, we are conducting a Social Network Analysis (SNA) to better understand what organizations are currently collaborating with each other in the region and at what level. Please fill out our quick survey to help us see who you are already connected to in the Mascoma region: This survey will close on Friday August 6th.

  2. We are trying to get a better understanding of what ‘community’ means to folks generally and specifically what they like (or do not like) about the Mascoma Valley Region. Please answer the three questions on this form.

  3. Help us spread the word! Share information about this project with your friends, neighbors, and co-workers. The more folks who know and participate, the better the results !

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Eula at elkozma@friendsofmascoma.org
