New Mid-Columbia Council of Governments Executive Director Bob Francis is getting settled in to the job.  Francis oversees an organization that provides a number of different services to five counties and 11 cities.  He says one of his main tasks in coming months is to write a number of grant requests, noting the future of federal funding streams are a concern, particularly in workforce development.  Francis says the MCCOG board will hold a strategic planning and goal setting session early next year.
