A new program from the Greater Des Moines Partnership will connect prospective and new residents with existing Greater Des Moines residents who are engaged in the community. The DSM MVP program stems from research surveying new residents, which found that a majority of respondents rated opportunities to make friends and connect to the community as important. The program also aligns with the Partnership’s Do Something Greater talent attraction campaign, which has resulted in hundreds of people expressing interest in relocating to the Greater Des Moines region, a news release said. More information about the program is available to new residents here. Those interested in learning more about the process for becoming a MVP can reach out to Anne Lowder at alowder@DSMpartnership.com.
