Gateway to Science is fortunate to have a dedicated group of board members who serve on a volunteer basis to help us in our mission to serve as a regional resource for informal science education. The Board of Directors provides our staff with direction for development of our programs and resources in order to secure the future of our organization and ensure that we are meeting the needs of the children and families in our community. Board members serve as our “goodwill ambassadors” in the community and get involved in all aspects of Gateway to Science, depending on their background and interests. There are opportunities for exhibit and program development, event planning, fundraising and technology support, just to name a few.

Current board members include: President Linda Gutensohn, Vice President Randy Binegar, Treasurer Gregg Wiche, Secretary Karen Traeholt, Art Carlson, Drake Carter, Tom Hutchens, Frank Koch, Kevin Oberlander, Scott Olson, Karol Riedman, David Sprynczynatyk, Scott Wild and Scott Weigum. What a fabulous group! Wouldn’t you like to join them? Applications are currently being accepted for new board members. If you are interested in joining the Gateway to Science Board of Directors, please contact me at 701.258.1975 or complete the Board Member Application and drop it off at the science center. I’d love the opportunity to visit about how you can make a difference in the lives of children through involvement on the Board of Directors.
