Montana Heritage Commission

The Commissioners

The Commissioners are selected in various ways. This helps to bring a good cross section of Montanans with a wide variety of pertinent skills to the management team. The Commissioners include three State of Montana Department Directors, two Legislators, and nine members of the public. Seven of the nine members have to have certain backgrounds as required in our enabling statutes. To contact a Commissioner, please phone (406) 449-6522, or e-mail the Commissioners.
