Board of Directors

The Board of Directors, comprised entirely of members in good standing, sets policy and guidelines for the Chamber's overall operations.

As a whole, the Board represents a diverse spectrum of small, medium and large organizations from the Bismarck-Mandan community.

The following members represent the Executive Committee. Please see the links on the left to find Board members sorted by term expiration date.


Executive Committee

Terry Kraft
Terry Kraft, American Family Insurance
Chairman of the Board

Terry Kraft owns an American Family Insurance office in Mandan. He is in his 26th year of business for the Fortune 500 company that carries "All Your Insurance Under One Roof".

Terry has been a board member for two years. "My hope is that I can bring to the board the issues and concerns of other small business owners like myself."



Annette Behm-Caldwell
Annette Behm-Caldwell, Open Road Honda
Secretary

Annette joined the Chamber Board of Directors in 2008. Since her start, she has worked to represent Mandan and all small, retail businesses that have unique needs and concerns. Annette is the ideal board member to serve in that capacity, considering she and her husband Dusty are the dealer principals of Open Road Honda in Mandan.

"Being on the Chamber board is a wonderful opportunity to give back to the business community and help improve the Bismarck-Mandan business climate," she says. Looking ahead, Annette anticipates additional networking opportunities targeted at small business.

Paul Sukut
Paul Sukut, Basin Electric Power Cooperative
Past-Chairman of the Board


Paul Sukut has worked at Basin Electric for nearly 26 years. Basin Electric isa relatively large employer in the community in an industry (energy from coal) that has a pretty large footprint in western North Dakota.

"I think I have a pretty good understanding of how issues important to western North Dakota and in turn Bismarck-Mandan (coal, employment, carbon, taxes, etc.) affect us as a business and in turn the business community of Bismarck-Mandan."
