“I am deeply honored to receive this tribute on behalf of myself and all those at B.

These youth are the future for companies like B. Braun and communities like the Lehigh Valley.”

Besides leading B. Braun’s corporate support of the Boys Scouts of America, Minsi Trails Council, Neubauer has been personally involved for a number of years including chairing the Leadership Campaign in 2013 and 2014.
