With a lengthy introduction from PP Paul Derda highlighting her family's deep roots in the community, Tina Eichner, shared her journey from a young writer editing her high school newspaper—facing censorship challenges—to leading Our Broomfield magazine. She discussed the hurdles of initiating and sustaining a local print magazine and its expansion efforts. Emphasizing the importance of supporting nonprofits, Tina announced a new partnership with the City and County of Broomfield to deliver the magazine to senior centers.
Beyond her publishing endeavors, Tina also serves as a partnership manager at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory in Golden, Colorado. Her commitment to community service is evident through her active involvement in local nonprofits and initiatives. She and her husband, Pat, a fifth-grade teacher at Aspen Creek K-8, have raised their two daughters in Broomfield, further cementing their dedication to the community. Tina's multifaceted career and community engagement make her a cherished figure in Broomfield.
