Our Board of Directors has been on a search for the next strategic leader to help Forward Montana meet the unique challenges of 2025 and beyond.
We knew we needed someone with the tenacity, heart, and strategic mind to meet this moment, and we’ve found that leader.
We’re excited to introduce our incoming Executive Director, Alice Boyer (she/her).
Welcome, Alice!
Alice is a dynamic young leader who shares our values: genuine connection, thoughtful discourse, embracing the discomfort of nuanced conversations, and continuous personal and collective growth. Her expertise will guide our steadfast commitment to building a more just, sustainable, and equitable future for all Montanans.
Alice Boyer (Tsi’koi’yiihktaan or “Rough Waters”) is a Metis, Little Shell, and Blackfeet woman with deep roots in Montana. Born and raised in Missoula, she is dedicated to expanding voting access, fostering civic engagement, and advocating for progressive policies across the state. As Deputy Director of Catalyst Montana, she led statewide voter registration, mobilization, and legislative advocacy efforts. Her leadership in redistricting, judicial independence, and her role as Deputy Director of the Native Vote Program further highlight her dedication and impact to create the future we dream of.
In times of uncertainty, we look to strong leadership. Alice has always found strength in her cultural heritage and connection to this state. We are confident in Alice’s ability to lead the Forward Montana team as we stand strong against the policies and forces that threaten to turn back progress. Together, we move Montana not left, not right, but forward.
What’s next?
Alice will officially begin her tenure as Executive Director on June 2nd, following the conclusion of the legislative session – the entire Forward Montana staff and board are eager to welcome her! Many thanks to Annie Warner, Operations Director and Courtney Smith, Director of Voter Engagement for stepping in as interim Co-Executive Directors after Kiersten’s departure.
Be on the lookout for opportunities to meet Alice at events near you this summer!
