We’re pleased to announce that Alicia Pedersen will continue her work with the Dark Clouds Board of Directors in 2026! Alicia just completed a two year term on the board, serving as Secretary and Membership Chair during the time. We’re excited to have her back! Join us in thanking her for her continued dedication!
Alicia was our only nominee for the vacant position and was approved by a unanimous vote of the existing board (as per our bylaws) on February 25, 2026.
How the DCMN Board works
The folks that organize the Dark Clouds are themselves organized into committees – groups that coordinate matchday, tifo, marketing/social/communications, party planning, partnerships, merchandise, finance, and volunteer work (Silver Lining). Each of these volunteer committees has a committee chair – and that person also plays the role of “director” on our board.
To help keep all of that together and to provide some decision-making accountability, we also elect three board members independent of the volunteer committees. (Someone can be elected in one of these roles and also serve as a committee chair.) Those three folks are then elected into officer positions by the remaining board to take on the responsibilities of President, Vice President, and Secretary.
We’ll have those officer elections at our upcoming DCMN BOD meeting on 03/10, 7pm, The Black Hart of Saint Paul. Anyone is welcome to join!
