Not every face at ACHS greets you at the door. So many of our dedicated volunteers work in the collections archive, at home, or on office duties behind the scenes.

Board of Directors

Committing to serve on the Board for ACHS means creating and maintaining a strategic plan, overseeing the organization's financial health, assisting in fundraising efforts, and acting as an ambassador for the stories of Anoka County.

The membership elects the Board of Directors from a ballot before the annual meeting, held each May. Directors must be members in good standing, can self-nominate, and serve for a three-year term after the election.
