Former Board Chair Mike Brothers Leads Financial Initiative
DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--OmniTRAX, one of the fastest growing railroads in North America and an affiliate of The Broe Group, announces Mike Brothers will chair its newly established Audit Committee as part of the company’s strategic growth plan.

Known for its best-in-class service and safety industry performance, OmniTRAX’s enhanced attention to its financial reporting positions the company to build on its record-setting performance. The Audit Committee is tasked with delivering industry-leading financial reporting and analysis to inform company strategy.
Brothers, a founding OmniTRAX board member, participated in the recruitment of the current management team and its most recent board additions, and is uniquely qualified to lead the new committee’s work directly supporting company leadership.
“OmniTRAX assembled a world class leadership team that continues to post impressive growth,” said Mike Brothers. “Our committee work will ensure that leadership has the critical financial tools to maintain its extraordinary trajectory.”
