NI Manager retires after 27 years

After nearly 27 years of working at the Northern Iowan, Business Manager Michele Smith retired on January 14, 2020. A party was held in her honor at The Horny Toad on Main Street the same day for friends, family, and colleagues. Michele has been a staple at the Northern Iowan, selling ads across the Cedar Valley and offering support to her students. It is safe to say Michele left her mark on the paper and on the lives of her students.
