Scott George
Vice-President
I have been a part of the Tipp City community for over 20 years. My wife Ruthann and I have volunteered to help with many school and community-related organizations and events over the years. We have two children attending Tippecanoe schools, and both are very active in extracurricular activities, from science and art club to class plays and the first step into the band; and yes our son is very involved in sports.
I am a firm believer that sports is an extension of the classroom and many of life lessons are learned while playing or cheering for your team. You learn that hard work is required to win on the field and in life. You learn to be humble in victory and gracious in defeat. You learn not to let defeat define you; rather you use it to motivate you to become a better version of yourself.
I bring over 20 years of business experience to our team, having worked for The Iams Company, Procter & Gamble and most recently Aileron in Tipp City. I currently work as a business consultant helping small businesses with strategic planning, business model development, organizational design and HR support.
Our family is proud to be a part of Tipp City, and we are doing our part to make sure it continues to be a great place to live, work and play!
Angela Potchik
Secretary
I grew up in Beavercreek, Ohio and graduated from Beavercreek High School. I moved to Tipp City 13 years ago. My Husband’s family is third generation Tipp. We have three boys, one has recently graduated from Tipp and the two others boys are currently attending Tipp City Schools. They have all played/play various sports in Tipp City.
I have volunteered my time as President of Tipp City Pee Wee Football and Cheer for the 9 last years. I am very passionate about football and our programs we have in Tipp City. Recently we have integrated a summer camp for our 5th and 6th grade boys with the Jr High and High school football program, creating a bridge from Pee Wee to school football.
This experience has brought me to Tipp Pride Association as the secretary. I am dedicating my time to TPA because Tipp City is a warm inviting community and I strongly believe that we need a new stadium that represents what Tipp City is about. We need a stadium that is safe for our community and one that we are all proud of. I am honored to be a part of this organization, as we move forward to raise private fund for our, Friday night lights!!!
