Brimhall Retires From Benchmark

It is with respect and honor that Benchmark Transitions announces the retirement of Richard Brimhall, Dean of Admissions.

"We appreciate Richard's many years of service to Benchmark, especially his dedication to our parents and families in his role as the 'Admissions Guy,'" states owner and executive director, Jayne Longnecker-Harper. "Richard has made a significant impact on the lives of our staff, students and families. He will be missed greatly as he transitions into the next chapter of his life's journey. We fully expect to see him flying around overhead in his new plane!" Richard plans to volunteer with the USO, the Republican Party and, of course, enjoy his hobby of flying his private airplane.

Effective immediately, Shelley Skaggs, currently the Director of Marketing and Clinical Relations, will oversee marketing, public relations and admissions as Director of Outreach and Admissions. Shelley holds a B.A. in Communications/Public Relations and has been implementing marketing and advertising strategies for Benchmark since 1999. In 2008, Shelley began to initiate clinical outreach to drug and alcohol recovery programs and interventionists, as well as increase communications and relationships with educational consultants, therapists and clinical providers.

Benchmark Transitions is a comprehensive therapeutic and residential transitional living program for 18-28 year old men and women providing behavioral-health clinical treatment, addiction recovery, aftercare, educational opportunities and life skills.
