HICKMAN COUNTY INTERAGENCY COUNCIL We all strive in our various ways to make a difference, whether it is business, government, health care, ministries, or many other outlets. In a small county like ours, when people come together to exchange ideas and purpose, we can cooperate more efficiently and effectively. The Interagency Council has been recreated to widen the lines of communication between organizations in Hickman County. The purpose of these efforts is to enhance the ability of these organizations to identify and address the needs, as well as encourage and reinforce the strengths of the community. The Hickman County Interagency Council exists to provide a forum for organizations in which information and resources are shared, collaborative efforts are fostered, and opportunity development and cooperation are offered. We invite you to join us. The next meeting date is scheduled for December 12th at 12:00PM at the

Hickman County Cooperative Extension Office.
