Board Retirements
Evansville Day School's Board of Trustees said goodbye to three of its longest-serving trustees this week at the final meeting of the year.
John Cinelli, who most recently served as the Assistant Treasurer, has been a member of the Board since 2011 and is the father of two alumni, Jack Cinelli 2014 and Patrick Cinelli 2016.
Helen Christian joined the Board in 2011 and also served as the President from 2013-2015. She is the mother of two alumni, Bill Christian 2011 and Ken Christian 2015.
Bruce Smith has been on the Board since 2009 and was instrumental to keeping the school's financial health and well-being as a top priority during his long tenure. He retires as the Treasurer and is also the grandfather of current student Domino Goforth, class of 2026. We also thank current Board President Chris Traylor 1990 for his successful leadership over the last two years. Chris will step down as president this July at which time Dr. Lori Sieboldt will begin her presidential term.
