ALLENDALE, MI (WHTC-AM/FM, Dec. 19, 2024) – Two business leaders, one with a storied history at Luebbers Stadium, are the newest members of the Grand Valley State University Board of Trustees.
On Thursday, Governor Whitmer appointed Brandon Hofmeister and Jason Trice to the governing panel of the Allendale-based institution of higher education. Trice is the co-owner of Bedrock Apparel in Flint, but is more known to GVSU fans for his exploits as a football wide receiver that led him to a spot in the school’s Laker Hall of Fame. Hofmeister has no such ties to the school, but he is a senior vice president for strategy, sustainability and external affairs at Consumers Energy.
“During this time of truly exciting growth and evolution for Grand Valley, Brandon and Jason’s experience and commitment to our mission are such valuable additions to our board. GVSU is the flagship university of Michigan’s future, and community-minded leaders like Brandon and Jason help us continue our tradition of excellence, innovation and equitable access as well as guide our future success.” – Beth Emmitt, Grand Valley State University Board Chair.
Both men will be serving eight-year terms, replacing Randy Damstra and Kate Pew-Wolters, whose tenure on the board had expired.
