Governor Jared Polis  the reappointment of Dr. Brenda Campos-Spitze and alumnus Dick Monfort, ‘76, both of Greeley, to the University of Northern ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½’s Board of Trustees. Their reappointments are for four-year terms, through Dec. 31, 2028.

Campos-Spitze, a local family physician at Sunrise Community Health, was initially appointed to the board last June for a shortened term through 2024 to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of former Trustee Patricia Barela Rivera.  

Attracted by Greeley’s diversity, Campos-Spitze and her husband moved to Greeley in 2014 to complete their three-year family medicine residency training at the Banner North ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ Family Medicine Residency Training program. They have since made Greeley their home. 

In addition to her service as a trustee for the university, Campos-Spitze also serves as a school board director for Greeley-Evans School District 6 and is a member of the advisory board for ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½’s proposed College of Osteopathic Medicine. 

Monfort, one of five ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ alumni trustees and long-time supporter of the university, is the current board chair. He spent 25 years working in the cattle business in ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ and is the owner/chairman and chief executive officer for the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ Rockies Baseball Club. Monfort has held leadership roles on numerous public and philanthropic boards, serving as chairman of the ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ Economic Development Commission, the Board of Directors of University of ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½ Health and is a member of the Kenneth W. Monfort College of Business Dean’s Leadership Council. He is a strong supporter of not only the university, but also the state of ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½, agriculture industry and higher education.  

ÌìÃÀ´«Ã½’s Board of Trustees consists of seven members appointed by the governor, plus a non-voting faculty member and student who are elected by their peers. More information about the board is available on the Board of Trustees website.
