The CURE Board of Directors is made of 5-15 elected members. The CURE Bylaws state that directors serve two-year terms and are eligible for re-election for up to five consecutive terms as per state law. Board members are elected at CURE’s Annual Business Meeting each spring. Learn more here about the role of a CURE Board Member.
Board members share:
Why have you chosen to serve on the CURE Board?
Dr. Michelle Montgomery, Vice ChairI believe connecting people's values to the environment is truly the most effective way to create meaningful change, and I am honored to join up with an organization that shares this belief.
Jim Falk, TreasurerI believe CURE has the right perspective to make a positive change in our community through action and education. I served on the CURE board several years ago and I feel that I can again be an asset to board with my experience in the ag sector and also as a renewable energy producer-consumer.
Kathy Hartley, SecretaryI believe the Mission, Values & Guiding Principals are excellent and I fully support them especially the statement that we have a moral responsibility to future generations to be good stewards of the ecosystems on which they will depend.
Arne Kildegaard, Member at LargeI watched with amazement as CURE's organizing and activism helped stop the expansion of the coal plant in Big Stone City, SD. In retrospect, that was a really big deal for our air, water, and climate.
Lori Cox, Member at LargeI align with the way CURE MN provides context for understanding that when people and environment combine, we have a responsibility to stand up and frankly speak about what we do well and what we need to do better.
