Hello Friends,

We're excited to invite you to the 2025 NLCBAA Annual Meeting on Friday, August 22nd from 7-9pm Central time. This is a wonderful opportunity to reconnect, hear important updates, and get involved in supporting the Boundary Waters program we all love.

  • Location: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89020156884?pwd=PpQMf1EXg9VADqeuhXzjhMgWyH4rHV.1 

This year, Stephanie McDaniel is up for election to the board. Here's a message from Stephanie:

“I’m excited for the opportunity to rejoin the NLCBAA Board. My connection to the program started when I was 14, participating in the first Dip Dip and Swing Wider Opportunity. I returned as a guide in 1993 and 1994. My first term on the board was probably in 2008 for two terms. After many years of family canoe trips, my daughters Eleanor and Ada were participants for several years. Eleanor returned as a Guide for 3 of the past 4 years. I’m grateful for this amazing community of women supporting this amazing program.

On the board, I hope to focus on property and buildings. I’m an architect by profession, working at Perkins & Will in Minneapolis. My family and I live in Sunfish Lake, Minnesota, a suburb near the MSP airport. So if you ever need a place to stay in Minneapolis, give me a ring.”
