Behind the Scenes

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 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.
