As a senior partner at Kepner-Tregoe, he became well known as a pro bono strategy consultant assisting Mercer-area non-profits, leading to a nineyear tenure as the board chair of the Princeton YMCA. He will pursue LHT efforts to develop connections to other transportation corridors, as well as enhance its role in health and fitness for trail fans throughout the region.

“To get the best out of LHT assets, we will seek more involvement with the larger community. We can work more closely with schools and civic associations, for example. I see us, as the LHT, reaching out actively to communities that we serve now and to others that we should serve better,” Sandahl said. “The path to stronger communities goes through inclusion and engagement, from Trenton to Princeton and beyond.”
