STAFFING UPDATE
Hello, my name is Robert Reid, and I am the new Interim Executive Director for Next-to-New, while the current director, Ulrike Miller, is out for an extended period.
My role will be one of leadership and support to the Next-to-New staff and volunteers over the coming weeks. I have a solid background in retail management and visual merchandising, both in the field and in corporate settings, that spans nearly three decades, working for some of the most recognizable brands in hardlines and softlines consumer goods. In those capacities, I have won numerous industry and service awards that are a true testament to my passion and skill set. I value honesty, hard work, and above all a servant heart in my day-to-day endeavors.
My spare time is spent reading, cooking, thrifting, antiquing, and enjoying the great outdoors with my beautiful wife Rita, and our two daughters Briana and Camdyn.
