Welcome to our New
Executive Director
We are pleased to announce Bruce Fulton
as our new Executive Director. He started
on March 30 and will transition to this position by April 30. Bruce joined the Neighbor Ride volunteer team in 2010, first as a
driver then volunteering in the office registering and welcoming new passengers.
He has a background in business and financial services and is a Howard County
native. He lives with his wife, Tina, and
two sons in Woodbine and can be found
coaching sports in the county. Bruce is
excited to be moving into nonprofit service and we are excited to welcome him.
