Minnesota governor Tim Walz has reappointed Yvonne Prettner Solon to a third term on the Duluth Seaway Port authority board of commissioners, a seven-member board, of which two commissioners are appointed by the governor.

 

Prettner Solon served on the board as a Duluth City Council appointee from 1990-1994, including a term as board president in 1993. From 2010-2014, she was the state's 47th lieutenant governor, before being appointed by former Minnesota governor Mark Dayton to a second term on the Port Authority board in 2015. Her current mandate will extend to January 2027.

 

Raised in Duluth, Prettner Solon graduated from the University of Minnesota Duluth. She looks back on 25 years in public service. (amh)
