The Barton Foundation recently introduced three new members to its Board of Directors: Jay Holopirek of La Crosse, Shawn Panzer of Great Bend and Marian DeWerff of Ellinwood.
“The Foundation Board of Directors are leaders in their communities, and they serve on other boards as well, but it is with great appreciation they have chosen to commit their time, efforts, and financial support to Barton Community College,” Barton Foundation Director Darnell Holopirek said. “Several board members have had the opportunity to take a class or enjoy the other activities the college offers, but to serve on our board is an obligation which holds a great and important responsibility.”
