TRAIL welcomes new Board members

Two new volunteers are beginning three-year terms on TRAIL Board of Directors in January 2026. They bring a wealth of knowledge, experience, and community connections to our Board.

Bart Floyd, a financial professional with 35 years of experience, serves as the Chief Banking Officer at Central State Bank. He and his family have called the Iowa City area home since 2003. Bart has invested in the community through involvement with numerous local organizations, including Junior Achievement, the Community Foundation of Johnson County, Grace Community Church, Brotherhood Prison Ministries, Iowa City Area Development Group, and United Way. He holds degrees from Cornell College and the University of Iowa, where he is also currently an adjunct professor at the Tippie College of Business

Mary Nicknish graduated from the University of Iowa with a BS in computer science and spent 40 years working at software startups in Silicon Valley. Mary retired in 2023 and decided to move back to Iowa City in 2024 to be closer to family. Most of her career was spent working at data analysis, education, and file-sharing software companies. Her father was an internal medicine doctor at Mercy Hospital and her mother an active volunteer in Iowa City. Mary spends her time now volunteering at Big Brothers Big Sisters, catching up with old friends and family, hiking, and biking.

We look forward to introducing Bart and Mary to the TRAIL community at our 9th anniversary event later this spring.
