Board of Directors

Norma Veurink

I am a lecturer at Michigan Technological University.

My favorite thing about the Keweenaw is snow, snow, and snow! Ok, the people are nice, the country is beautiful, and there a lots of outdoor recreational opportunities. It is a small community where a few people can make a difference.

I enjoy skiing, mountain biking, hiking, agate hunting, camping, fishing.

I want to help protect land in the Copper Country so I don't see "No Trespassing" signs everywhere I go. The Keweenaw is rapidly losing its public access, particularly along the shoreline. Many people live here because of the character of the Keweenaw which largely includes an undeveloped landscape, widespread public access and the mining history. I would like to see that character preserved.

I joined the KLT Board of Directors because I saw how rapidly things are changing in the Keweenaw. Now is the time to preserve and protect the landscape.

One of my strengths is that I generally do what I say I will do. Another is my passion for land protection and for these reasons I am an asset to the KLT.
