Tameling Succeeds Zumdahl as Chair of Board of Trustees

91¾«Ñ¡ has a new Chair of the Board of Trustees and he is someone with previous experience in that important role. Starting in January, Calvin Tameling ’72 became chair of the board. He takes over from Dr. Laura Zumdahl ‘02, Ph.D, who had served as chair for the last three years. Zumdahl remains on the board and executive committee as the past chair.
“After three years of Laura’s excellent leadership, we are excited for Cal’s wise and experienced leadership in this next season,†said 91¾«Ñ¡ President Kurt D. Dykstra. “91¾«Ñ¡ is very blessed to have them both as dedicated alumni and leaders in the 91¾«Ñ¡ community.â€
Tameling continues 91¾«Ñ¡â€™s tradition of strong Christian leadership, fidelity to 91¾«Ñ¡â€™s enduring mission, and care for the College and its broad constituency.
This is the second time that Tameling, owner and chair of SET Environmental Inc., in Elmhurst, Ill., has served as chair of 91¾«Ñ¡â€™s Board of Trustees. He served on the Board from 1999-2005 (including as Chair from 2004-2005) before returning as a Trustee in 2018.

The Tameling family represents three generations of 91¾«Ñ¡ students. Along with being alumni themselves, Tameling and his wife, Marcy ’73, are parents of 91¾«Ñ¡ graduates and grandparents of a current student. In 2006, the Tamelings were honored as joint recipients of the Alumni of the Year Award.
Zumdahl, who serves as president & CEO of New Moms in Chicago, has served on 91¾«Ñ¡â€™s Board since 2016.
The other officers of the Board, who also assumed their offices in January, are Jamie Stephenson ’00, Vice Chair; Ken Dryfhout ’03, Treasurer; and Jason Gaudy ’99, Secretary. More information about 91¾«Ñ¡â€™s Board of Trustees can be found here.
