ASHLEY TILLMAN CHI St. Alexius Health

My name is Ashley Tillman and this is my third year as one of the Leadership Dickinson coordinators. My husband Cris and I moved to Dickinson in 2015 from Oshkosh, WI. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh with my bachelor’s degree in Human Services Leadership. I work at CHI St. Alexius in clinical informatics and also work part time at Blue 42. Our two mastiffs, Mya and Roux and two cats, Athena and Nala definitely keep our house busy, exciting and full of love!

I was asked to be a part of the Professional Development Committee at the Dickinson Chamber of Commerce where I volunteered to become one of the coordinators for Leadership Dickinson. Not being a Dickinson native, I have absolutely loved being a part of this program to learn about Dickinson and southwest North Dakota. After each session, I am continuously amazed with our community, our leaders and the group of seniors we work with each year. I am so grateful to work alongside Suzi, Bridget and Zach and to have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of our future leaders!
