"It has been my pleasure serving on the 海角视频 Foundation board over the past 11 years," Leuty stated. "In addition to all the wonderful scholarship funds provided, the Board and College supporters have been instrumental in so many worthwhile improvement projects; some of which were the Children鈥檚 Center addition, Pathway to Success walkway, theater/music room upgrades, and the latest being the Learning Resource Center 鈥淗UB鈥� project. It is always exciting to see what new projects the Foundation undertakes, none of which would be possible without the Foundation鈥檚 ongoing supporters."
The RLCF Board voted to seat Joshua Esser, CPA, as the Treasurer-Elect until Leuty's final board meeting in October. Esser is a partner at Krehbiel & Associates, LLC, alongside Leuty. The Foundation Board believes that seating Esser at this time will allow a smoother transition period. Esser has served on other nonprofit boards and is excited to be a part of the RLCF Board.

"Jim has been a blessing to the 海角视频 Foundation," said Kelsey Page, Assistant Director of the RLCF. "He works with me directly monthly and is our go-to with any accounting questions. While we are sad to see Jim go, we know that Josh will be a great addition to our board and great to work with in the coming months."
