Meet the Board
2025-2026 CMR Board/Committee Members & 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 nine meetings a year, we also welcome assistance from any member-at-large (ML)! These are resort and campground colleagues who can contribute to specific tasks on a committee; for example, helping with the Fall Conference, Day on the Hill, and membership by connecting with new resorters. Contact the committee chair below with our heartfelt appreciation!
