New VP for Advancement is Named

From President Giles-Gee:

I am pleased to announce that Ms. Maryann Lindberg has been named Vice President for Advancement at Keene State College after successful completion of a national search that yielded a strong applicant pool. This appointment is pending formal Board of Trustees approval, expected this month.

Ms. Lindberg has 24 years of experience in development, most recently having served as the executive director of the Bloomsburg University Foundation and as vice president for First Side Partners, a development and campaign-planning consulting firm serving higher education and other organizations. She holds a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree from Bucknell University and a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree from The Pennsylvania State University. She is a certified fund-raising executive, and has served as both president and member of the Planned Giving Council of Central Pennsylvania and the Northeast Pennsylvania chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals.

I commend the Search Committee under the leadership of Dean Gordon Leversee for serving the College well with exemplary diligence and commitment. I also extend my thanks to faculty, staff, and students for their participation in the interview process of our campus finalists.

Please join with me in wishing Maryann well in her new position as she begins her work at Keene State College in early January.
