Minong Flowage Association
The MFA is holding its Annual Meeting on Saturday, June 13 at Wascott Town Hall (register to attend here) — and we have up to four open Director seats on the ballot. We're looking for people ready to get involved, step up, and help shape what this association becomes. Scroll down for a link ("Volunteer or Run for the Board") to fill out a form to express interest in the Board or volunteering.
The Minong Flowage Association is entering a new chapter — and we're looking for people who love this lake and want to help lead it forward.
For years, a small group of dedicated volunteers has kept the MFA going. Now, with the Save the Flowage campaign underway, a modern membership platform in place, and a DNR permit for milfoil treatment in motion, we are building something more: a proactive, self-sustaining lake association capable of funding its own conservation work, communicating consistently with our community, and engaging the regulatory and tribal partners who determine what's possible on the flowage.
The work is real. The momentum is here. What we need now is you.
Get Involved
Whether you can give a few hours a season or want to take on a meaningful leadership role, there is a place for you. We need committee volunteers just as much as we need board candidates — and board members and volunteers work side by side in each of our three committees:
Lake Management
The heart of our mission. Aquatic invasive species management, fisheries and wildlife stewardship, lake safety, and the regulatory and governmental relationships that determine what's possible on the Minong Flowage.
Communications
A consistent, compelling voice builds trust, drives membership, and keeps our community informed. Quarterly newsletter, website, social media, and member outreach — telling the story of what we're doing and why it matters.
Membership & Events
Lake associations thrive on relationships. Member recruitment and renewal, summer community events, and the social connections that turn neighbors into advocates — and donors into long-term stewards of the flowage.
Annual Meeting — June 13, 2026
At our Annual Meeting at Wascott Town Hall, MFA members will elect new directors to the board. The incoming board will set the MFA's multi-year strategic plan — this is a genuine opportunity to shape the organization's direction, not just fill a seat.
We are actively recruiting candidates with experience or interest in:
• Financial management or accounting — to support our Treasurer function • Community events and membership engagement — to build the social fabric of the flowage community • Fundraising, development, or public policy — to grow our conservation funding and stakeholder relationships
We also welcome any candidate who brings genuine passion for the flowage, whatever their background. The new board will develop its own vision together — we're providing the scaffolding, not the script.
How to Get Involved
Volunteers: Tell us which committees interest you and what you'd like to contribute. No board commitment required — just a willingness to help protect the flowage.
Board candidates: Submit a brief candidate statement prior to the meeting. Statements will be shared with the membership so voters can make an informed decision. You may address the membership in person at the meeting, or designate someone to speak on your behalf.
Board candidacy • Committee volunteering • General interest
