Appleseed’s Volunteer Board

Miller works for Wabash Valley Power Alliance as an Economic Development Relations Specialist. Her prior experience includes Jasper County Economic Development and Jasper County REMC. Zyan was drawn to serve on the Appleseed board after looking for licensed child care for her daughter and realized how important this organization is to local employers. Miller’s closest licensed child care option was in Remington which was not feasible since she lives and works in Rensselaer.

He holds an economics degree from the University of Chicago and was a bond trader for Bank of America before coming back to Rensselaer to run the family farm.

Megan joined the Appleseed board in 2021 after trying to find child care for her three young children. She has become more aware of the importance of this child care service but what’s important to her is that Appletree’s children are shown love, educated, and set up to be successful contributors to our community.
