Alerus Center

5:30pm - 9:00pm

We are excited to announce Hunter Pinke

as our keynote speaker!


Along the Way - Life hits you and how you respond determines your path forward. Draw from North Dakotan Hunter Pinke's experience of going from Division I football player to a chest-down paraplegic at age 22. Pinke gives tangible examples on how to embrace life's challenges and find joy along the way.

Hunter Pinke is a lifelong North Dakotan who grew up in the rural town of Wishek, ND. While attending Wishek high school, Hunter participated in Class B basketball, 9-man football, track and field, American Legion baseball, FFA, International and State Science Fairs, Science Olympiad, choir, band, piano festivals, drama and speech. He graduated in 2016 as the valedictorian of his class of 18 students.

Hunter went on to pursue a college education from the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks, ND. In addition to his studies, Hunter was a tight end on the UND football team and served as team captain for the 2020-2021 season. During his time at UND, Hunter served for three years on the leadership team of the UND Fellowship of Christian Athletes and is devout Christian.

Join us as we report on 2024 and welcome our new Board Chair for 2025, Mike McLean, JLG Architects.
