Board of Directors

Meet the Board behind Dial-A-Bus of Benton County.

Some of our Board Members also use our transportation services.

Board Chair Kelly Brown. Kelly worked for HP and taught IT at U of O. Now, he spends his time volunteering as our board chair and the district chair for Boy Scouts of America. Of his time at Dial-A-Bus he says, "I've gained a broader perspective of the needs of the elderly, those with disabilities, and how DAB strives to meet those needs through not only transportation, but also through building friendships with clients."

Board Treasurer Robin Costa. Robin says, "I heard of Dial-A-Bus from friends who had used it and praised the good quality of transportation." Robin retired after working at HP for 37 years. When he was asked to join our board he was excited to learn how we serve seniors and people with disabilities. His favorite service is our transportation for less fortunate school children who receive rides to and from school.

Board Member John Gardner. John is a client who joined our board in 2018. He was a Physics Professor at OSU when he lost his sight in a medical procedure in 1988. Realizing that there was no accessible way for him to review the math and graphical information present in physics, John founded ViewPlus Technologies in 1996, which is now the leading manufacturer of tactile graphics and braille embossers in the world.
