Marguerite Herman has worked in education, communication, and advocacy for many years and maintains an active interest in all three. She reported for The Associated Press in Columbia, South Carolina, and later in Cheyenne, and she is the author of A Look at Wyoming Government (League of Women Voters, 2006), a civic-education primer still used in classrooms across the state.
She has served as federal legislative chair for the Wyoming PTA and is the legislative lobbyist for the League of Women Voters in Wyoming — roles that have placed her inside the statehouse during every major education and lands debate of the past two decades. Marguerite is also affiliated with the Wyoming Trust Lands Coalition in a governance capacity, bringing that coalition's institutional perspective to the ASTL board.
As Board Secretary of Advocates for School Trust Lands, Marguerite holds the organization's records, frames its motions, and helps keep governance disciplined and transparent. Her reporter's instinct for the precise verb, the named source, and the unhedged sentence is felt across ASTL's writing and its meeting minutes alike.
Marguerite lives in Cheyenne. Her work — at the press table, in front of the legislature, and at the board table — is grounded in the belief that durable public institutions require informed citizens, and that the school trust is one of the institutions worth informing citizens about.
