Everyone give a warm welcome to the next treasurer of CPAA, Inc., Brian Griffin!

Brian Griffin is the Director of Operations at FRAYT Technologies, where he applies his organizational and operational expertise to help the company run efficiently and grow. He also serves on the pastoral staff at Fairfield Church in Fairfield, Ohio, where he’s committed to serving and supporting his community.

Brian’s connection to the marching arts runs deep. Over the years, he has taken on a variety of volunteer roles supporting high school marching band and percussion programs, gaining firsthand insight into the dedication, discipline, and teamwork these activities demand — and the impact they have on the students who take part in them. That experience, paired with his background in operations and administration, gives him a well-rounded perspective he’s eager to bring to ConneXus as the organization’s next treasurer. 💚

ConneXus congratulates CPAA, Inc. treasurer Angel Boulis on her retirement!!

Angel was a founding staff member of ConneXus since its beginnings in 2013. She has been the treasurer since 2014 and is now retiring after her 12th season. She has been the first and ONLY treasurer in ConneXus history. She helped manage the growth of the ensemble from inception to PIW classification in just seven seasons.

She is also a dedicated mom to ConneXus founding member Josh, former member of Pride of Cincinnati and the Rangerettes, as well as a longtime and avid supporter of the performing arts.

We thank Angel immensely for her consistent & outstanding contributions to this organization and wish her well in her retirement! 💚

We’re so back.
