Virginia Wesleyan College benefits enormously from the leadership of our
Board of Trustees. These experienced and talented individuals offer a
wealth of insight and skills as we chart our strategic course for the
coming years. Two new Trustees similarly bring valued strengths to the
Board.
I am pleased to inform you that Lee T. Stevenson ’85 of
Chicago and Mary C. Haddad of Suffolk, Virginia, have been elected to
serve.
Lee is managing director of the global firm of Marsh & McLennan Companies, Chicago. Profiled in the Fall 2016 edition of Marlin Magazine,
Lee manages his firm’s Central region with more than 20 retail
brokerage offices. He serves on Marsh’s U.S. Executive Committee and its
President’s Council, consisting of the company’s top executives
worldwide. He is a native of Virginia’s Eastern Shore and lives in
Chicago with his wife, Lara (D’Domenicus) Stevenson ’88, with whom he
has three children, Taylor, Jack, and Natalie.
Mary is a graduate
of Gonzaga University and Hampton University with extensive volunteer
and non-profit service including the Chesapeake Bay Academy, the ODU
Board of Visitors, the Suffolk Foundation, WHRO Public Broadcasting, and
the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV), among other
organizations. She is president of the Louis & Mary Haddad
Foundation. Mary and her husband, Lou, are the parents of four children.
I know you join me in welcoming them as our newest Trustees.
