The members of the board consist of:
On February 16, 2017 both Michelle Kelm-Helgen (chair) and Ted Mondale (executive director) resigned over use of the stadiums suites by people with ties to the state's Democratic Farmer Labor Party. Gov. Mark Dayton appointed Kathleen Blatz as interim chair on February 23, 2017. Rick Evans was named new Executive Director on March 10, 2017.
