Shape the Future of the Trail

The Superior Hiking Trail Association Board is seeking new volunteer Board Members to replace those whose terms are expiring in June 2025.

The board welcomes all applicants, particularly if you live in one of the four counties the Superior Hiking Trail traverses — Carlton, St. Louis, Lake, and Cook.

The Board serves as the governing body of the Association and works closely with the Executive Director to accomplish our ambitious strategic goals. The Board meets in-person four times annually, and each board member serves on at least one committee. Typically, committees meet once in between each full board meeting. Occasionally, we plan a non-working get-together to enjoy our friendships and shared love for the Trail. 

We are always interested in recruiting avid SHT users, including day hikers, trail runners, or backpackers, and we are equally excited to invite those who are passionate about welcoming the next generation of trail users to the SHT. This year we are especially looking for expertise in fundraising, legal, and real estate. Candidates with diverse backgrounds, identities, and professional experiences are encouraged to apply to ensure a broad range of skills, perspectives, and voices are represented on the SHTA Board.

If interested, we ask that you introduce yourself by sending a letter to the SHTA Governance Committee no later than April 20, 2025 at the two email addresses below.

Please include the following information:

• Share your interest in joining the Board.
• The talents, skills, and interests you would bring to the Board. 
• What experiences you hope to gain by serving on the Board.
• Any other information you’d like to share. 

Please send your letter and any questions to Executive Director Lisa Luokkala at [email protected] AND to Board Vice-Chair Barry Cattadoris at [email protected] to apply.

We look forward to hearing from you!
