Shirley Stefan, Mike Vrooman, Kevin Renwick and Drew Herbst were added to the board to continue the mission of providing quality shooting equipment to youth programs across the country.
“These new members epitomize a dedication to youth shooting sports and are tasked with helping to identify new ventures and avenues that will increase the number of programs we enlist,” according to Dick Placzek, YSSA Board President. “They each bring a different skill set to the table and we’re looking forward to their respective expertise.”
