Leadership & Governance

Who We AreLeadership & Governance

Who runs MFPE? Members do. MFPE is a grassroots organization and a democracy at every level. Every member has a vote and unrestricted access to every level of MFPE governance.

MFPE has three governance levels: local, district, and state. We have about 400 local affiliates across Montana. Local affiliates are organized into nine districts. District chairs and vice chairs form the state MFPE Board of Directors, along with elected state officers. Active MFPE members may run for any local, regional, or state office.
