A change in leadership at Plymouth High School has brought a new face to the Plymouth Park Board

Mayor Robert Listenberger administered the oath of office Monday evening to Ryan Welch, the newest member of the Plymouth Park Board.

Welch's appointment follows the resignation of Josh Troyer, who stepped down from the Park Board after resigning as Plymouth High School Athletic Director. When Troyer submitted his resignation to the school board, he also informed the mayor he would be leaving the Park Board.

Welch was hired as the PHS Athletic Director in July of this year, and the school selected him to serve as their appointee on the Park Board.

Mayor Listenberger welcomed Welch to the board at Monday evening's ceremony.

Current Park Board members include Welch, Mike Kershner, who serves the board as President, Alex Eads, who is Vice President, Cayla Wade, who is Secretary, Liz Richie, and Adam Lukenbill, who was appointed by the Library Board.
