Martin, Board of Public Works 227 West Jefferson Blvd. Suite 1200 North South Bend, IN 46601 Re: Membership Agreement Dear Ms. Martin, I am very pleased to communicate that effective October, 1, 2018 Collective Shift merged with Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU), a New Hampshire not -for -profit entity. When LRNG was created in 2015 as the first endeavor of Collective Shift, we had the goal to redesign learning for the 21st century so all youth could have the opportunity to succeed. With your help and support we were able to reach more than 50,000 youth across America. As part of the merger, LRNG will continue its work while also becoming the community impact arm of SNHU. I am joining SNHU's leadership team as an Executive Vice President and LRNG staff are transitioning to SNHU. This merger will bring expanded resources, connections, and fresh ideas in hopes of minimizing the equity and opportunity gap by transforming how young people access and experience learning.
