After serving on the board since the Foundation’s inception, Corinna Thuss, outgoing President, and Brian Boms, outgoing Vice President are transitioning into advisory roles this year where the new board officers look forward to their guidance on continuing the Foundation’s success.
The Foundation would not have achieved its success over the years without Corinna and Brian’s passion, dedication and energy. Not only were they members and leaders of HHTDEF, but they are also active members of the Tri-District communities, having led and supported numerous community events with the main objective of always giving back. They are the epitome of service above self, always going the extra mile and giving 100% of themselves and their time. We cannot thank them enough for their continued contribution, enthusiasm and commitment. [READ MORE] |
