Kathy Shellum

Executive Director

Picture
Kathy has been involved with the Miss America Program for 44 years in the local, state levels.  She served as a State Board member and Chairman of Miss Minnesota's Atlantic City Preparation Committee when Gretchen Carlson was Miss Minnesota 1988, and Miss America 1989. She was also the official Traveling Companion with Miss Minnesota to the Miss America Pageant.  Currently, Kathy is the State Executive Director of the Miss Minnesota Scholarship Organization and has held that position for 10 years. Kathy believes that the Miss America Organization is getting stronger than ever, and excited to see what the future holds for the organization.

Kathy has been involved with her church as the first female president of the congregation which oversaw a building expansion and two call committees, served as Parish Coordinator, and headed up the Personnel Committee.    In her spare time, Kathy is a sports enthusiast with her number one team being the Minnesota Twins, followed by the Minnesota Vikings.   
 
Kathy comes from a proud military family – her father was a decorated WWII veteran, her husband, Don, served 31 years in the US Army Reserves, her daughter Heidi is a retired Army Captain, and her son in law Bruce is currently serving in the US Army as a Colonel.  Her oldest grandson, Tyler, served in the Marine Corp.

Kathy is a retired part time school district employee, renowned “suzie homemaker”, married to Don,  and is the mother of 4 daughters (Heather, Heidi, Colleen and Cori). Her youngest daughter, Cori was named 4th runner up to Miss Minnesota 2007.   Her greatest joys are her 11 wonderful grandchildren!
