As of September 19th, there is a new director of Wagner Area Growth, Margaret Doom. Margaret will be full-time in her role as Wagner Area Growth Director, unlike her predecessor, Michele Juffer, who was part-time in the position. What really drew Doom to wanting to take the director position was that she would be able to return to Wagner, which she had been hoping to have the opportunity to do and the beautiful bicultural diversity that embodies Wagner. She sees the unique blend of Czech and Native American cultures in Wagner that has created this community and wants to help strengthen this blend of cultures to make Wagner an even better place to live.
