Meredith Johnson
Hometown: Bozeman, MT
Congregation: Hope Lutheran
Johnson serves as the Director and Teacher at Wilson Preschool. She enjoys volunteering in the community. She has served as the Sunday School Superintendent, Director of VBS, Girl Scout Leader, and helps with the Special Olympics. Johnson loves Thrivent’s mission of service and hopes to get people engaged locally while brainstorming growth ideas for the region. Johnson views her time on the board as an opportunity to do her two favorite things: connect with people and serve others.

Our leaders work in the best interest of our membership––not third-party shareholders, like publicly traded companies. Clients with a benefit membership can vote in the annual election for the Thrivent Board of Directors. As the organization’s supreme governing body, the board focuses on serving the interests of the membership, both now and into the future. The board establishes and promotes Thrivent’s purpose and oversees major business decisions, and works with leadership to assess and manage risk.
