Hill & Lake Press Welcomes New Board Members and Thanks Departing Ones

Hill & Lake Press, Inc., a 501(c)(3) Minnesota nonprofit, is pleased to announce the addition of Brian Lucas, Dominic Saucedo and Andy Schwarm to its board of directors.

Brian Lucas, who grew up in the community and resides in Kenwood with his family, brings a background in communications and journalism.

Dominic Saucedo, who lives in East Isles with his family, brings expertise in creative writing and digital marketing. He spent his formative years in Los Angeles and Oregon, and was motivated to volunteer following the footsteps of his mother who worked for a local paper.

Andy Schwarm, resides in Lowry Hill with his family and brings a wealth of experience in business and finance. He hails from Illinois and has a familial connection to community journalism, as his mother also worked for a local paper and he sees the benefit of community news and wanted to help. He will serve as treasurer.

Departing from the board are Win Rockwell, a founding member of the Hill & Lake Press and a recent president of the board; Janet Hallaway, also a recent president; Phil Hallaway, who recently served as treasurer; and Chas Scheiderer, a board member who developed the paper’s budget. Each of these members played an important role in the successful transition of the paper to its status today as a 501(c)(3).

The Hill & Lake Press extends its gratitude to these dedicated volunteers for their tireless commitment to delivering news to our community, “…where the biggies leave off.”
