This special group of men and women has unselfishly dedicated themselves to the preservation of their culture and the mission of the museum. They join an elite group of individuals who over the past twenty years have worked to build and maintain an organization of which all Danish-Americans can be proud. Participating at their own expense, the Directors come together three times a year to share their skills and experience in providing oversight to the administration of the museum and to develop ideas and plans that will contribute to its continuing vitality. It is the practice of the Board to meet each February and June in different locations around the United States so that they may share and celebrate Danish heritage with those Danish-Americans who may not otherwise be able to link directly to the museum. Without the dedication, energy and support of a strong team-oriented Board of Directors, the Staff of the museum would not be able to work effectively in managing day-to-day operations of The Danish Immigrant Museum. 2007 - 2008 Board of Directors President – Marc Petersen, Omaha, NE Vice President – Mark Nussle, Palos Park, IL Secretary – Dagmar Muthamia, Long Beach, CA Treasurer – John Molgaard, Atlantic, IA Dennis Andersen, Atlanta, GA Carlo Christensen, Glendale, CA Lone Christensen, Brown Deer, WI Ane-Grethe Delaney, Wayzata, MN Mark Frederiksen, Falcon, CO Kenneth Gregersen, Ankeny, IA Janell Hansen, Elk Horn, IA Bridget Jensen, Houston, TX Erna Jensen, Des Moines, IA Harold M.
