Blacksburg Museum Announces New Board Members

Blacksburg Museum and Cultural Foundation (BM&CF) is pleased to welcome Nathan Hall, Julie Burger, and Jason Pospichal to the Museum’s Board of Directors.

Nathan Hall is a professor in the Virginia Tech University Libraries, where he directs Digital Libraries and Preservation. He completed a Master of Library Science degree and a Ph.D. in Information Science at the University of North Texas. A consistent theme across his career has been increasing access to community collections. He has lived in Blacksburg with his family since 2011. He volunteers with the Blacksburg Volunteer Rescue Squad, and enjoys running, hiking, and gardening.

Julie Burger grew up in Blacksburg attending Ruritan fish fries and marching with the Blacksburg High School marching band in the annual
holiday parades. After attending Virginia Tech, she spent two years as a Peace Corps volunteer in Bulgaria. She returned to Blacksburg after working in the New York Finger Lakes and attending North Carolina State University for graduate school. Julie is an academic advisor in the College of Natural Resources and Environment at Virginia Tech. She is an active member of Blacksburg Presbyterian Church and enjoys attending (rather than marching in) holiday parades with her husband and two girls.

Jason Pospichal is Senior Vice President/Loans at National Bank of Blacksburg. He earned his Bachelor’s of Science Degree at Virginia Tech, and is a graduate of the Virginia Bankers Association’s School of Bank Management and the American Bankers Association’s Stonier Graduate School of Banking and Wharton Leadership Certificate program. Pospichal is a member of the Board of Directors of Warm Hearth and serves on the New River United Endowment Committee.
