Foundation Staff Grows

The Board of Directors of The Bubel/ Aiken Foundation is pleased to announce the appointment of Jerry Aiken to the position of Executive Director, The Bubel /Aiken Foundation. Mr. Aiken brings extensive leadership experience from the corporate environment having held numerous senior level positions at Nortel Networks, TRW, and Fujitsu Network Communications. His background includes assignments as General Manager, Vice President Global Customer Service, Vice President Engineering, Vice President Regional Operations, and other key leadership roles. We are fortunate that he has agreed to join The Bubel/Aiken Foundation and apply his business expertise in supporting the development and growth of the Foundation.
This appointment represents a change in both the management structure as well as titles used by the Foundation. Mr. Aiken will report directly to the Board and will be responsible for leading the growth of the Foundation collectively, with the help of all of our Donors and Volunteers. In the new structure we will continue to enjoy the expertise and passion of Kristy Barnes, Director Marketing and Operations and Aron Hall, Director Services. Both Kristy and Aron will report to Jerry and will continue their excellent work, as we seek to bridge the gap that exists between young people with special needs and the world around them. Thank you for your continued support of our goal of creating awareness and opportunities for full inclusion where barriers break and doors open.

The Bubel /Aiken Board of Directors
Clay Aiken, Chairman of the Board
