HICKERSON JOINS BRIDGES TO COLLEGE BOARD

Greenville resident Linda Hickerson was recently elected to serve as trustee and treasurer for Bridges to College.

Hickerson joins Bill LaFramboise, Ryan Cox, Diane Swallow, Kevin Blakeley, Aaron Cox, Ken Neff, Marlise McCallister, Janice Michael, Chris Mortensen, Chris Seger, Brian Swiger, and Rhonda Williams on the board.

Bridges to College, started in 2006, helps more students go to college through educational programming, one-on-one mentoring, and need-based scholarships. The program offers services to students in the Greenville and Ansonia school districts.

“Hickerson brings both accounting and non-profit experience to the board,” said Beth Sears, executive director of Bridges to College. “In addition, she has two children enrolled in Greenville City Schools and is familiar with the Bridges to College program and its mission.”

Hickerson, a certified public accountant, has served locally as the chief financial officer for Darke County Recovery Services. She also has been the treasurer for Crossroads of Darke County, the treasurer and accountant at EUM Church, and the interim financial administrator at Tipp City United Methodist Church. She is a graduate of Muskingum College.

“Giving students a fresh perspective on the possibilities for future education can change their futures and therefore our community’s as well,” Hickerson said. “I’m excited to serve an organization that provides those services to our local students and their families."
