The Better Health Foundation (BHF) has announced a new slate of elected officers and the addition of a new board member from DeWitt, Iowa.
The Davenport-based foundation said the officers were elected at the organization’s annual meeting in December.
The board of directors’ newly elected Executive Committee is:
- Rob Woodall, board president. Now retired, Mr. Woodall’s career with Alcoa/Arconic spanned 34 years and included leadership positions with the aluminum maker around the world including at Davenport Works in Riverdale, Iowa.
- Jennifer Feeney, vice president. Ms. Feeney is the vice president for Human Resources for ImpactLife, a community blood center operating in four states.
- Nicholas Brandt, secretary/treasurer. Mr. Brandt is the John Deere manager of Parts Order Fulfillment for Agriculture and Turf products globally.
- Dr. William Langley, immediate past president. Dr. Langley is a retired family practice physician and served as board president during the organization’s successful transition from a public charity within Genesis Health System to an independent private foundation.
The foundation also announced the addition of board member Kristin Campbell. The DeWitt woman is an entrepreneur and the founder and operator of several businesses in the Clinton County community. She retired from John Deere after a 24-year career in manufacturing engineering and supply management roles.
In a news release, Mr. Woodall said Ms. Campbell was invited to join the BHF board because of her professional experience, entrepreneurial vision, and interest in wellness. She will serve a three-year term, with the possibility of renewal for a second consecutive term.
Planning for the future
“Kristin’s membership on the board happens to coincide with the development of our new strategic plan,” Mr. Woodall said. “We want to measurably impact the health of our region and will look to Kristin, and her peers on the board, to help us find improvement opportunities in our grantmaking and operations.”
