Ober Foundation Elects New Trustee

The Oberholtzer Foundation Board of Trustees elected unanimously Keir Johnson at their June 18 board meeting to serve as their newest board member. Keir will be a wonderful addition to the board. He grew up in International Falls and his parents knew Ober. He has wonderful memories of visiting Ober’s home in Franks Bay and touring Mallard Island.  As a small child, he was impressed by the magic of Mallard Island and all of the eclectic and unlikely structures. He currently is an attorney and trust officer at a bank in Grinnell Iowa and has expertise in planned giving. He has a significant amount of experience in nonprofit administration. It is not lost on Keir that over time, many bankers and lawyers were inspired by Ober’s  passion and vision and they provided him with both practical and financial support that supported Ober’s work. Please help us welcome Keir!
