Heart of Jasper Board Member Spotlight - Kurt Vonderheide

Last Updated 8/28/2024

Meet Heart of Jasper Board Member, Kurt Lechner!

Kurt enjoys spending time with family and friends, hiking, camping, going to the White River, and football. His favorite thing to do in downtown Jasper is witness the buzz. Whether it is a performance at the Astra, visiting the Cultural Center, dining, shopping or anything else, he is motivated by the buzz. It provides a great feeling knowing people can enjoy our downtown and that we are helping to position it for future generations.

When asked what Heart of Jasper means to him, Kurt said, “Jasper has the opportunity to continue to position itself as a great place to visit and live. It is exciting to be a part of the ambitions and dreams that are shared and developed within the HOJ team. The enthusiasm and passion is contagious!”

Thanks for all you do, Kurt!
