    George Johnson and Freddy Johnson will join the board Jan. 1.

    Joining the board in April will be Ashley Roseboro ’04 of Woodbridge, Va., incoming president of the Greensboro College Alumni Association, as that group’s representative to the Board of Trustees.

    Roseboro serves as director of operations for the Bonner Group, a consulting firm that works with nonprofits and Democratic political candidates, and previously held a similar position with the Democratic Party of Virginia. He also has served as purchasing/procurement/training supervisor for St. Louis County, legislative researcher for the Genesis Solid Waste Management Group, and as a staffer for three political campaigns.

    In the community he serves on the board of the literacy nonprofit First Book and the board of the Greensboro College Alumni Association and sings in the choir at First Baptist Church of Woodbridge. He was the 2016 recipient of Greensboro College’s Young Alumni Award.
