Leadership Update

We are excited to share that two of our board members have stepped into new roles- Brad Kemp is now Board President, and Jamie Zimmerman is Vice President. Tina Williams will continue as Secretary, and Andy Larson as Treasurer.  Brad and Jamie share why they joined and what they are looking forward to. 

Brad Kemp

Brad owns and operates Second Bedroom Studio where he works as a music composer and producer in Chicago. He says, "My wife and I are incredibly passionate about local, sustainable food and have been members of Angelic Organics CSA since 2019. During the pandemic I decided to get even more involved in supporting change in our local food and farm systems and joined the board of Angelic Organics Learning Center. Now I am incredibly thrilled and humbled to be elected as Board President. I'm looking forward to getting more involved with our programming, working closer with our incredibly passionate staff, and connecting with our community of supporters.

Jamie is a CPA and works with a local engineering firm. She shares, "I have such a love for our local food systems, nature and preserving our environment. I wondered what I could do to learn as much as possible while sharing any skills I may have to help make a difference in the community. As Vice President, I'm looking forward to participating and helping in whatever ways I can to support the staff, volunteers and other board members as we work to unite people through food and sustainable farming into the future. Education is a big deal to me. I'm a learner as well as an educator and I believe wholeheartedly in what Angelic Organics Learning Center stands for and the education it provides to so many in the surrounding areas. I look forward to being a part of that agenda." ​
