Maddie Duffield
Governor minndak.governor@gmail.com Hi everyone! My name is Madeline Duffield, but you can call me Maddie and I am excited to be serving as the 2023-2024 MinnDak District Governor! I am entering my third year at Minnesota State University, Mankato studying Family & Consumer Science Education with a minor in Health Science. Some things I enjoy doing are hanging out with friends and family, cooking, watching Netflix (I LOVE Grey’s Anatomy), reading, and playing with my Moyen Poodle, Teddi. I have been involved in the Kiwanis Family for 6 years now and have held multiple leadership roles throughout my time. This year, I am excited to put all my years of experience to help lead and guide MinnDak. Service is something that I am very passionate about and I look forward to sharing that passion with all of you this year! If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

I am a 4th year student at Minnesota State University, Mankato studying Special Education with minors in Communication Science and Disorders and American Sign Language.

Jason Stewart
District Administrator jstewartcki@gmail.com I have served as the District Administrator since the winter of 2016. I have also been a member of the Kiwanis Family since I joined Key Club in 2002. During my Circle K tenure, I served as Ohio District Governor and International President. I am currently a member of the Southwest Metro Minneapolis Kiwanis Club. Professionally, I work as an event and education manager. My favorite service project is building dressers for Bridging each year. I live in the Twin Cities with my wife (Samantha) and our 2 dogs (Finn and Zoey). |
Annie Lougheed
Secretary-Treasurer minndak.secretarytreasurer@gmail.com Hi! My name is Annie and I am your 2023-24 Minnesota-Dakotas Circle K District Secretary-Treasurer. I currently attend the University of Minnesota- Twin Cities as an International Studies major with minors in Public Health, History and Business Management. When I'm not focusing on school or Circle K, you'll likely find me nannying, watching a sitcom, or listening to Taylor Swift. Prior to my role as District Secretary-Treasurer for Circle K, I was a District Governor, Bulletin Editor and Lieutenant Governor for Key Club so I can easily say this isn't my first time in the Kiwanis Family. Additionally, I was the District Governor of our district last year, which was a whirlwind of experience. Going into my last year of university and Circle K, I plan to make the most of my time by forming connections and supporting the district as much as I can. Please let me know if you ever have any questions or want to chat, I'm only an email/text away. 
Joseph Albright
Kiwanis Family Relations Chair minndak.kiwanisfamilychair@gmail.com Hello everyone! My name is Joseph Albright and I will be serving as your K Family Relations Chair for the 2023-2024 school year. I am a junior in the aviation program at Minnesota State University Mankato and will also be the co-president of the MNSU Swing Dance Club! In my free time, you can find me playing electric guitar, learning how to cook something new, or going for a joyride on country highways. I joined Circle K last year, and it has changed my life. I had been trying to find an organization that volunteered at fun and diverse events, and CKI fit that bill perfectly. Through CKI, I have met countless new friends and have enjoyed many new experiences. I’m looking forward to strengthening the K Family and meeting more exceptional people! 
Allysa Nelson
Events Chair minndak.eventschair@gmail.com My name is Allysa Nelson and I will be serving as your 2023-24 Events Chair. In May 2023, I graduated from Minnesota State University, Mankato with a Bachelor of Science in Social Work. This year, I am continuing my academic journey at MNSU and completing graduate coursework as I prepare to pursue a master's degree in Social Work. In my spare time, I love watching any type of game show or reality TV, learning something new, drawing/painting, and spending time with my two orange kitties, Blondie & Daisy. I joined Circle K in 2021 and immediately loved how inclusive the environment was. Since then, Circle K has completely brought me out of my shell and introduced me to some of the BEST individuals. I am serving as MNSU's Club President for the second year in a row and am extremely excited for another year of service, leadership, and fellowship! |

Before college, I was in my high school's Key Club for 4 years and served as a class representative, Club Treasurer, and eventually, Club President!
