Board of Directors

Committing to serve on the Board for ACHS means creating a strategic plan, overseeing the financials, fundraising, and acting as ambassador for the stories of Anoka County.

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