Lawrence W. (“Larry”) Reed is a founding member of Frontier Institute’s Board of Directors and served on our Board from 2020-2026. He served as President of the Foundation for Economic Education (FEE) from 2008 – 2019. He previously served for 21 years as President of the Mackinac Center for Public Policy in Midland, Michigan (1987-2008). He also taught economics full-time from 1977 to 1984 at Northwood University in Michigan and chaired its department of economics from 1982 to 1984. While serving on our board, Lawrence wrote the Frontier History series, a monthly series highlighting the compelling stories of Montana’s historical trail blazers that bucked the notion that the government is the solution to all of our problems and sought out ways to improve Montana without relying on the government’s favor or their purse.
