Ramsey County Board of Commissioners declares November 19, 2024, as Commissioner Nicole Joy Frethem Day in Ramsey County.
Commissioner Nicole Joy Frethem has served the people of Ramsey County with distinction and dedication, demonstrating unwavering leadership by advancing policies and initiatives that have had a lasting positive impact on our community.
Commissioner Frethem was instrumental in the strategic investment of American Rescue Plan (ARPA) dollars to support the childcare workforce through the Wayfinder program, which was so successful that it expanded statewide and garnered national recognition, including a special acknowledgment by President Biden at the National Association of Counties conference in 2023.
Commissioner Frethem led work to establish an Arts, Cultural, and Creative Enterprise comprehensive strategy and an Advisory Commission, with the goal of enhancing vibrancy, economic development and cultural richness in Ramsey County.
