The Doctor Is In
Dr. Roger Davis is the current President of Community College of Beaver County and recently joined the BCET board of trustees. He brings with him a true gift for educating and leadership demonstrated by a long CV that includes many honors and awards. The most notable being the Humanitarian of the Year bestowed by ACT, Inc. of Rockland County, NY. He hopes to use his connections to the Beaver County community to further the goals of the BCET. The BCET trustees would like to wish him a warm welcome and are honored to now count Dr. Davis as a member.
Real-estate Agent Finds a Home
Bruce Fleming moved back to Beaver County after attending Columbia University in NY. He found work with Bovard-Anderson in Beaver upon his return. Mr. Fleming joined the board back in 2016 at the urging of his employer, Ed McLaughlin, who served for over 25 years. Married to a Beaver Area School District teacher, Bruce has an intimate connection to the needs of local teachers. He sits on both the marketing committee and the fundraising committee and has been instrumental in increasing donations to the organization. The BCET counts itself lucky to have him as a trustee.
