Board members serve in a unique trusteeship role.
They are not directly involved in agreement-building and the board never approves or rejects the agreements built by others. Rather, the board protects the availability, creativity, and integrity of these services for the benefit of the state. Board members represent diverse viewpoints, but they share a common commitment to encourage agreement building. David L. Kemnitz , Chair, Steele. Dale O. Anderson , Bismarck.
