Board of Directors
Meet Our Board Chair: Brandon Beardsley
Brandon Beardsley has been a dedicated member of the Board of Directors for the past eight years. He previously served as Vice Chair before being appointed Chairman at the beginning of 2025.
Brandon brings over 20 years of experience in the financial services industry and currently serves as a commercial banker with Genesee Regional Bank (GRB). He initially led the Bank’s Internal Audit department and later established its Risk Management function. Prior to GRB, he worked with PwC’s Risk Assurance team and a Syracuse-based startup specializing in regulatory compliance within the financial sector. His leadership in risk management, process development, and community engagement will help guide Camp Good Days as we continue to grow and serve those impacted by cancer and sickle cell anemia.
Beyond his professional achievements, Brandon is deeply committed to giving back to the Rochester community. He focuses exclusively on supporting local businesses and regularly volunteers with area charities. He also serves on the Finance Committee of Irondequoit Country Club and was recognized as a Rochester Business Journal “Forty under 40” honoree. Brandon holds a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from SUNY Geneseo and resides in Webster with his wife and two children.
Reflecting on his role with Camp Good Days, Brandon shared: “I am honored and humbled by this opportunity to continue helping Camp Good Days. The amount of good that Camp Good Days has done in the 46 years since Gary Mervis founded it is immeasurable. My goal is to ensure that his vision is carried on for the next 46 years and beyond.”
