Brian Mitchell of Elkhart, Kan. He is the owner and operator of Northridge Cinemas 8 and Northridge Shopping Center here in Guymon.
Brian Mitchell of Elkhart, Kan., was elected to the Kansas University Endowment Board of Trustees at their recent 116th annual meeting. Mitchell is a third generation partner in his family business of farming real estate and investments. He graduated from KU in 1986 with a degree in accounting and business administration. "I am very honored to become a part of the board and this is a lifetime appointment, so they don't come available very often. And when an opening comes up you have to go for it," Mitchell said He was recruited by the executive committee who had recommended Mitchell. He was also appointed to serve on the Property Management committee, chaired by Michael Michaelis, owner of Emprise Bank. "My experience in the farming and real estate was an advantage for me. There is a lot of notable KU alumni and it is going to be an honor to be serving with them," Mitchell said. Adding with a giggle that this will give him a great excuse to get back up to Lawrence at least three or four times a year. Board members' duties include setting policy on fundraising and assets management and serving on committees for KU Endowment programs and activities. There are 30 members who serve on the committee and 7 members on the Property Management committee with Mitchell being one of the youngest serving on the board. He is the owner and operator of Northridge Cinemas 8 and Northridge Shopping Center. |
