Trevor Friedeberg (left), president and CEO of the regional partnership, described Richards as an active contributor and voice for small communities who is responsive, thorough, organized, knowledgeable and a “top-notch ambassador for his county.” He “finds ways to forge a path toward regional prosperity even when the path is winding and not entirely stateforward,” Friedeberg said.
