New Board Member, Chris Schuler, was also Brian's Friend

The Schuler family has been in our lives since I was a young girl.  Chris played soccer with Brian and our parents became good friends.  Some of you remember that Chris' mom, Connie, joined our Board of Advisors a couple of years ago and Connie and her husband, Bill have always been very supportive of Brian's Foundation.

When Chris approached our family to see if he could also serve on our Board of Advisors, it didn't take long for us to decide what a wonderful fit this would be.  Chris is Brian's first peer who will be on the board and we have our first 'mother/son' team.

Chris recently moved back to Green Bay after earning his MBA with an emphasis in Strategic Management and Finance from the University of Minnesota.  After he received his BA from UW-Madison, Chris lived in Chicago for eight years, where he worked in Marketing. 

When I asked Chris why he wanted to get involved with Brian's Foundation, he said "Since moving back to Green Bay, I have been looking to get involved with our community and having followed your foundation since it began, I wanted to get involved at a different level.  It seemed like a good fit, because of my friendship with Brian for so many years and all the positive things you guys are doing."

We know Chris will bring a lot to Brian's Foundation as we continue to serve our future leaders.
