In
the process of rearranging things here... We now have a Board of
Directors, and it is an impressive lot:
John
Crossman is President of Crossman & Company, one of the largest
retail leasing, management, development, and marketing firms in the
Southeastern United States. John and I were college roommates at
Florida State University where, in 1993, John earned his B.S. in Real
Estate. John is deeply involved in charitable activities including
Good News Jail & Prison Ministry and I
Am Second in Orlando, Florida where he and his
wife, Angie, live with their daughters Claire (10) and Ava (8).
Curt
Buermeyer is a graduate of Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State
University, where he earned a B.A. In Psychology. Curt and I were
graduate school classmates. We studied together at the University of
North Carolina, where he earned his PhD in clinical psychology. Curt
worked for 5 years in private practice and at the National Leadership
Institute. In 2007 he left private practice to focus exclusively on
leadership development. He later founded LeadPeople LLC, an
executive coaching and leadership consultancy. Curt, his wife Nikki,
and three children (Luke, 12; Allie, 11; and Tyler,7) live in
Herndon, Virginia.
Maggie Gough is a native of Boone
County, Kentucky and a graduate of Eastern Kentucky University where
she earned her degree in Dietetics. Maggie is a Registered Dietician
and has been the Assistant Director of Wellness at Northern Kentucky
University since 2011. It is through her involvement as the
Coordinator of the Highland Heights/Northern Kentucky Community
Gardens that I came to know Maggie. She and her husband Brad live in
Cincinnati with their daughter Ainsley, 2 ½, who will be a big
sister any day now.
Sue
Plummer, a graduate of Bowling Green State University (B.A., French)
and the University of Cincinnati (M.A., History), is an Education
Specialist for Mercy Neighborhood Ministries in the Walnut Hills area
of Cincinnati. It was Sue's work as Manager of the Julie Hanser
Community Garden that caused our paths to cross in 2010, when she
delivered a presentation on her work there to the Community Garden
Development Training course I was attending. Sue and her partner
Dave live in the Avondale neighborhood of Cincinnati.
