MDU Resources Welcomes Vernon Dosch to Board of Directors

BISMARCK, N.D. — Nov. 14, 2024 — MDU Resources Group, Inc. (NYSE: MDU) today announced that its board of directors has elected Vernon A. Dosch as a director, effective Nov. 15, 2024.

Dosch, a respected leader with more than 45 years of expertise in the electric utility and broadband industries, brings a deep commitment to community and industry advancement.

“We are excited to welcome Vern to our board,” said Dennis W. Johnson, chair of the board. “His dedication to industry innovation, community service, and proven ability to lead transformation initiatives in the utility sector will be an invaluable addition to our team. Vern’s impressive track record of strategic planning, financial acumen, and relationship-building aligns with our commitment to excellence.”

As a longtime leader at National Information Solutions Cooperative (NISC), Dosch led the company’s growth from start-up to a premier technology provider for the utility and broadband sectors. His expertise in electric distribution, generation and transmission, as well as utility-related technology, has positioned him as a trusted leader. Dosch’s career is marked by an ability to effectively engage with diverse teams and stakeholders—qualities that will enhance the MDU Resources board as it moves forward as a pure-play regulated energy delivery business.

“I am honored to join the board of MDU Resources Group and look forward to contributing to the company’s continued success. With a strong foundation in industry leadership and community service, I am excited to collaborate with the talented team at MDU Resources to drive forward our shared vision of excellence and sustainable growth. Together, we will work to enhance our impact in the energy sector and support the communities we serve.”

Dosch’s involvement in numerous boards, foundations and community service roles, including Bismarck State College Foundation, Missouri Valley United Way and several functions with the State of North Dakota, reflects his commitment to community impact, an integral aspect of MDU Resources' values.

Dosch earned a bachelor’s degree in business administration and accounting as well as a master’s degree in management from the University of Mary. In 2021, he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Leadership Honoris Causa from the University of Mary.
