Trustee Dan Dvorak
Dan Dvorak has been on the Village Board for four years. Since becoming a Trustee, Dan has developed a reputation as being one of the “go to” Trustees whenever there is a difficult situation or issue that needs to be addressed. A recent example is that of the wastewater treatment plant. The aging facility had been experiencing a host of problems and the Village needed someone who could take on the responsibility of turning things around at the plant. Dan took on the challenge and has been able to get people to work together and set the stage for future improvements at the facility. Dan was instrumental in convincing the DNR to reissue our facility a new five year discharge elimination system permit. He also assisted in obtaining a grant and low interest financing to reduce the financial burden of the Village. Dan and his wife Sara and their two children live on Diamond Ridge Circle. When Dan isn’t working on ways to improve our community he works as an electrician with Town & Country.

Trustee Cathy Duescher
Cathy has lived in Denmark since 1993 and decided to get involved in the village government when approached by another then Village Trustee. Her first year involved learning the balancing act of State funding, resident concerns, on top of keeping the Village as cost efficient as possible. Cathy's grandfather (who served in the State Assembly) served as her early mentor. Cathy's family consists of a sone and his wife and their three busy boys; and daughter who currently attends college in Milwaukee.
