Board of Directors The activities of CWDC are facilitated by our diverse and dedicated board of directors. They provide fiduciary oversight, guide program planning, and contribute hours of work directly implementing performances and other CWDC events. President Hjordis Trygg Bjorklund is an escrow officer with First American Title Insurance Company and is going on her sixth year working in commercial real estate. Before her current endeavors she received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in dance from the University of Minnesota and performed for a few years with the Christopher Watson Dance Company and Ressl Dance! In addition to performing, she taught dance to children at several studios in the metro area. Now Hjordis wishes to contribute to the dance community through working with the CWDC board.
