Economic Progress Alliance of Crawford County

Happy International Women's Day! A special thank you to the women of the Economic Progress Alliance of Crawford County. The hard work done every day by Angela Pero Annibale, Pat Warnock Winsor, Rebecca Marvin, Sarah Fait, Kamiryn Matheney, Michele Anderson & Brenda Bizzarro make Crawford County a better place to live, work and enjoy!

With great sadness, the Economic Progress Alliance and its Board learned of Bill Bragg's passing last week. For over two decades, Bill devoted himself to the economic and community welfare of Crawford County, in part by serving on the board of the Alliance. During his 23-year tenure, he served as Board President for twelve years, only recently stepping back from this role. Bill was deeply committed to the mission of enhancing the quality of life through economic development and had unwaveringly given his time and energy to this organization. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Bill for his many contributions and offer our deepest condolences to his family. Bill will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
