The Center of the American West takes as its mission the creation of forums for the respectful exchange of ideas and perspectives in the pursuit of solutions to the region's difficulties. We at the Center believe that an understanding of the historical origins of the West's problems, an emphasis on the common interests of all parties, and a dose of good humor are essential to constructive public discussion.
~Patty Limerick
Chair of the Board and Faculty Director
The Center of the American West is honored to be served by a board of unique, fun, and fully engaged members from both the academic community and the community at large. Our board is bipartisan, is more concerned with problem solving than with political posturing, and brings a host of skills essential to our operations. They are also simply quite a lot of fun to be with.
