Paulson, who was president of the trustees last year, has served as a trustee since 2009 and is a past member of the Washington Twp. Zoning Commission. He is a partner with Advanced Engineering Solutions, Inc. where he is vice president of sales.
His community involvement has included the Associate Board of the Dayton Art Institute, the Leukemia Lymphoma Society and Montgomery County Land Bank.
