Emily Kuross Vikre

The Boston Children's Museum

I continue to serve as CEO and Co-Founder of Vikre Distillery. I’ve now published two cookbooks, Camp Cocktails and The Family Camp Cookbook through Harvard Common Press available nationally. I continue to serve on multiple boards including Lyric Opera of the North, Friends of the Boundary Waters, and the 1200 Fund Board. Both LOON and Friends of the Boundary Waters have amazing education programs for elementary and middle schoolers. I’m on the education committee for both of them and we’re working on scaling these programs. My family is well, we’re enjoying the natural beauty of northern Minnesota, and I’ve taken up oil painting and ballet in my spare time.

"At the end of the day, no matter our line of nonprofit work, it is about the welfare of people. I'm grateful for the ways I grew to understand that during my time as a Fellow and for how it helped to shape my calling."
