Our Team

The service area that A.C.E. of Southwest Minnesota covers includes the counties of Cottonwood, Lincoln, Lyon, Murray, Nobles, Pipestone, Redwood, and Rock. We employ a Program Manager in each county. An Executive Director oversees all Program Managers, and the organization is governed by a Joint Powers Board consisting of one County Commissioner from each of the eight counties plus a Joint Advisory Council Representative.
