New coordinators for City of Lake
North and South Chapters
Meet Sheila Krohse and Derek Van Heuveln who are, respectively, the new coordinators for City of Lakes South Chapter and City of Lakes North Chapter.
Derek is a staff engineer and project manager of construction testing and geotechnical exploration projects for American Engineering Testing. One of the things Derek likes best about volunteering with MATHCOUNTS is seeing the students excel and enjoy the spirit of friendly competition.
Sheila is a project manager at the Chaska Office of Bolton & Menk, designing and managing municipal engineering projects. What she likes best about MATHCOUNTS is "interacting with kids who are actually excited about math and talking to them about their future goals."
