An enjoyable lunch at the Glass Light Hotel & Gallery in Norfolk with our friends from Brown Advisory

An enjoyable lunch at the Glass Light Hotel & Gallery in Norfolk with our friends from Brown Advisory. Martin Ouimet and Amy Seto led a thoughtful discussion on the growing role of artificial intelligence in philanthropy. Joining us were VWU Trustee Emeritus George Birdsong and Suzanne Savage, Vice President of ACCESS College Foundation, a valued Marlin partner. The gathering was especially meaningful as the Glass Light occupies the historic Royster Building—the founding location of Virginia Wesleyan in 1961 and home to the historical marker commemorating the University’s beginnings.
