Dan, a seasoned business consultant, with over twenty years experience working with business groups and organizations from all over Northern British Columbia, is well known to many in the Nechako Reservoir area. Dan’s main area of expertise is business planning and forestry planning initiatives. He brings with him, to the NKDFS, a wealth of funding acquisition knowledge garnered through his years working with Community Futures Development Corporation and the SICEAI (Softwood Industry Community Economic Development Initiatives) Programs.

Mr. Merz also extends reassurances to clients and potential applicants that the transition between managers has been smooth and the NKDFS is operating business as usual. The next meeting is scheduled to take place in Grassy Plains on September 21st, 2004.
