MEET THE CSPM FAMILY Individuals, corporations and foundations make up our Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum (CSPM) family. They come together to provide vital support to building a lasting connection to the Pikes Peak Region by preserving and sharing our cultural history at CSPM. Meet a member of the CSPM family—Herman Tiemens II. Herman is a Senior Financial Advisor at Wells Fargo and his family formed the Tiemens Foundation. We asked him a few questions about his support of the Museum. What started the Tiemens Foundation? “I moved to the Colorado Springs area in 2006. As a new person in town, I was looking for ways to be a part of the community. I have a passion for the arts, and I decided to focus my community support on our Region’s cultural sector. As that focus sharpened over the years, my family eventually formed the Foundation to support local arts organizations. Why do you feel the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum is important to support? “The Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum is the only organization solely focusing on the history of the region. I feel that the museum plays a very important and unique role in our community and I wanted to support their efforts.” Do you have a favorite past exhibit? “Yes, the League of Wives was one of my favorites. I know Helene Knapp well from my involvement with other arts organizations and I was lucky enough to get a personal tour of the exhibit while it was showing. I was not only fascinated by the story, but her personal connection to it as well.” Thank you Herman, Tiemens Foundation and Wells Fargo! We appreciate your support as a corporate sponsor and a member of the Clock Tower Society. We look forward to welcoming them as a sponsor again for our upcoming Gift of History Breakfast in August 2019!
