Renae Brennan - Vice President
[email protected]
Took Office: July 1, 2025
Term Expires: June 30, 2028
Renae was born and raised in a small town in Minnesota. Graduated Hinckley-Finlayson High School in 2000. After going to college in Mankato for 2 ½ years studying interior design, she decided to make the jump into the aviation industry. Renae then started her Flight Attendant career in January of 2004 with Pinnacle Airlines.
In 2008 she bought a bar and grill in her hometown of Hinckley, Minnesota. She flew full-time and worked at the bar whenever she had a day off. In 2020 she sold the bar and grill and gave birth to her only child, a son, named Rowdy. (Yes, his real name is Rowdy.) Named after Rowdy Burns from Days Of Thunder. He is the world to her, and he LOVES to fly! In her free time, she likes to watch her niece and nephews play volleyball, baseball and softball. Baseball is a huge part of her family history as her great-grandfather was one of the founders of amateur baseball in Minnesota and he was also a survivor of the Great Hinckley Fire. Fun fact, the baseball field in Hinckley is called Brennan Field. Her favorite places to travel are to Croatia and to Japan (to eat sandwiches from 7- eleven) with her initial roommate, Yoko.
Renae is very excited to begin this new adventure as the LECVP.
