Our Team
dedication
GCOLA’s leadership consists of the Board of Directors and Advisory Members. The Board devotes their time and energy to developing and funding the programs to support our mission. Each one of the board members brings experience and expertise from their prior business careers and their work with other organizations. Our Advisory Members either chair a committee, provide legal counsel to GCOLA, or represent Cass and Crow Wing counties, the MN Department Natural Resources, and the US Army Corps Engineers.
You are always welcome to join us at our monthly meetings on the second Wednesday of the month at 8:30 a.m. You can participate via Zoom or contact Info@GCOLA.org for in-person meeting details.
