We're excited to add a new member to the team! 🎉 Brandon joined us back in August, just in time to the last couple of stops on our yearly summer ice cream tour. 🍦 In true SB fashion, he's jumped right in, already working two events and volunteering at a MTT SAG over the weekend. He brings a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Georgia and of course a passion for active living!

Meet Brandon at our upcoming President's Council Interest Meeting on 10/13!
