What is the Community of Minnesota Resorts All About?
Our focus is on assisting members in marketing and education, and assuring a legislative voice at the MN state capitol. Every year we offer scholarships to member’s children or grandchildren, give an annual “Resorter of the Year Award,” and offer vendors an opportunity to connect with resorts through our Associate Member Program.

Meet The Board
2021-2022 CMR BOARD/COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND STAFF
Our board of directors consists of 12 – 20 volunteer resort members on three-year terms, who work on one of four committees: education, marketing, legislative and membership.
For those not interested in being on the board of directors (requiring attendance at monthly Zoom meetings) we also welcome assistance from any member-at-large! These are resort and campground colleagues who are able to contribute for specific tasks on a committee. I.e. coordinating vendor show at Fall Conference, assisting with digital marketing, creating Day on the Hill leave-behind gimmicks, writing blogs, creating membership surveys, or even connecting to fellow resorters via membership drive phone calls, etc. If you have an interest, contact the committee chair below with our heartfelt appreciation!
