MALVERN, PA — Without community leaders, Malvern wouldn’t hum along nearly as smoothly as it does. We’d miss their contributions in big and small ways.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize these often unsung community leaders and celebrate their contributions.

This submission comes from Nicole Roper, a Malvern reader who nominated Jim Christ.

What does this community leader do?

President of Paoli Battlefield board.

Why do you believe the community leader should be recognized or honored?

Works very hard to promote the park and story of the American Revolution. The park is a forgotten Revolutionary War battle after Brandywine. He is also on several other boards and helps at the Sanderson Museum in Chadds Ford.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the community hero?

He works very hard for our organization. You would want him to work with you.
