Board & Advisors

Our board of directors is made up of leading local citizens representing broad interests in the community with permanent members representing the mayor, city council, Chamber of Commerce, wood products industry, and school board. We are supported by non-voting advisors representing public utilities, local foundations, hospital and emeritus board members.
