Adam Dulninck to Leave Metropolitan Council Metropolitan Council Chair Adam Duininck announced last week that he will resign his position with the Council to take a government affairs position with the Northern States Regional Council of Carpenters at the end of this month. Chair Duininck was appointed by Governor Dayton in 2015 and was the first full-time Chair for the Metropolitan Council. Governor Dayton has appointed Alene Tchourumoff as the new incoming Council Chair. Ms. Tchourumoff is currently the Rail Director for the State of Minnesota. Her appointment requires confirmation by the State Senate. Metro Cities would like to thank Mr. Duininck for his leadership of the Council, and his strong and consistent collaboration and partnership with this organization and local officials in the region. We wish him well in his new endeavors. Metro Cities congratulates Ms. Tchourumoff on her appointment as Chair, and looks forward to working with her as she assumes her new role.
