Grand Forks, N.D. - Dave Molmen, Altru's Interim CEO, has been recognized by Prairie Business as one of the 2021 Leaders & Legacies Recipients.

“I am humbled to be chosen for this recognition,” Molmen said. “I’ve had the incredibly good fortune through my entire career to work alongside people who care deeply about their community and each other. I know that any good thing I was a part of is because of all of them.”
