Last week, T-REX welcomed teens from the Jackie Joyner-Kersee Foundation for our Geospatial in Motion program! Through its mission to help youth in East St. Louis succeed in life, the Foundation connected students with an opportunity to explore the exciting world of geospatial science.

During the program, students heard directly from industry leaders about what geospatial is, how it's used across countless industries, and the many career paths it can open. We're proud to help inspire the next generation of innovators by showing just how far geospatial can take them.

We're excited to share that Kenneth Eversole and Ted Stann have joined the T-REX board! 👏🦖

For Kenneth, Co-Founder & CEO of OpsCompanion, T-REX is the foundation of his impressive career in St. Louis; "T-REX is where everything started. I joined Balto AI, and our first office was there. T-REX was the place where I got the first glimpse of what St. Louis' potential is.”

Ted, Partner at Boardroom Bullpen, has a long history with T-REX — he's been involved with us since we were at the old Railway Exchange building! Ted is "proud to support the premier organization which is growing the start-up and tech community in the St. Louis region.”

Kenneth and Ted's longstanding connections to T-REX make them natural champions for the St. Louis region, and we're excited to work alongside them as we continue to evolve and expand our impact. Welcome, Kenneth and Ted!
