Why I Serve on the Board of Directors
My late father-in-law (Tom Davidson, Sr.) served on the Board in the 1980s so it is heartwarming to follow in his footsteps. I received great undergraduate and law school educations at UND and am excited to give back to my alma mater.
How I Provide Opportunities
For about 20 years, I served on the Board of Directors of Mercy Medical Center of Williston, N.D./Catholic Health Initiatives-St. Alexius Health Western Region/CommonSpirit Health Western Region.
I served as Co-Chair on the campaign to build a new recreational facility (The ARC) in Williston. American State Bank & Trust Co. was the anchor sponsor of the new Williston Public School District #1 Innovation Academy. It is a new school that serves about 400 students in the 5th through 8th grades.
In my free time, I ...
spend as much time as possible with my family (wife Tammy Davidson, β87, four adult children, two daughter-in-laws and one granddaughter).
My Favorite UND Memory
In 1984, I was fortunate to attend the UND School of Lawβs summer session in Oslo, Norway. It was without question the highlight of my college experience.
