Fargo, ND: Beyond Shelter, Inc. (BSI) announced the end of an era with the retirement of Bev Rohde from its Board of Directors. Bev has served on the Board for all 23 years of BSI’s operation. During her tenure, the organization gained development capacity and expertise while expanding its service area. When Bev’s hometown of Minot suffered devastating flooding in 2011, she supported BSI’s expansion into that market to expedite recovery efforts. During the oil play in western North Dakota, she again saw an opportunity for BSI to contribute to meeting the urgent housing needs that arose. As active members of the community, prior to her tenure with BSI, Bev had served on the Fargo Housing and Redevelopment Authority Board for many years. She and her late husband, George, owned and operated Gallery West framing shop in Fargo for 25 years. The Beyond Shelter, Inc. board and staff want to share a big thank you to Bev for her legacy of compassion and advocacy for those most in need, and her commitment to the community. Bev did more than cut ribbons and shake hands, she was a true leader. Bev will step down from the Board in April to move closer to her family.
