Dominic Weilminster and John Yonushewski elected to RNL’s board of directors

RNL has announced the election of Dominic Weilminster, AIA, senior associate, and John Yonushewski, FAIA, chief operating officer, to the firm’s board of directors.

“The election of Dominic and John reflects the firm’s evolution,” Joshua Gould, AIA, Chairman and CEO of RNL, said. “We remain ever-focused on client satisfaction through exemplary, innovative, and collaborative design but RNL’s employee-shareholders understand that maintaining our edge requires a fresh and agile approach.

Dominic widens the perspective, providing clients with cutting-edge design solutions, while John’s experience and business acumen ensure our clients’ projects succeed from a budget and schedule standpoint. It’s exciting to see the momentum created, within the firm, by the board’s new make-up. I think RNL employees see an opportunity to use their skills and talents, along with their experience, to bolster the value of our work, to help steer the firm’s course and, ultimately, to design projects that strengthen communities.”
