New V.P. of Projects, Greg Baumgardner
New V.P. of Projects, Greg Baumgardner
In the December 2nd BRHS Board of Directors meeting, the board created a new Vice President position, the V.P. of Education and Outreach.  Appointed to the role is current Director and V.P. of Projects, Leo Phillipp.  This position is a logical extension of Leo's excellent "Live With Leo" presentations around the Chicago area, and will provide an opportunity to expand that outreach for the BRHS and the education on the CB&Q.
The board then unanimously appointed Greg Baumgardner to the V.P. of Projects position vacated by Leo's new appointment.  Greg's skill and enthusiasm for modeling and his past management experience will be a great asset in fulfilling the responsibilities of the position.  Join us in congratulating both gentlemen for these appointments.
