New Director of Development by Rodney LaBrecque, Head of
School
I am pleased to announce that Mr. Richard Rodgers has accepted our
offer to become the next Director of Development. Mr. Rodgers has most
recently served as Executive Director of Development at the University
of Massachusetts Amherst. Over the last ten years he has also held the
positions of Director of Corporate and Foundation Relations and
Director of Corporate Relations Office of research. He served the
University of San Francisco in that same capacity from 1998 to 2000 and
prior to that held several development positions for non-profit
organizations in San Francisco. Mr. Rodgers has a proven track record
of fundraising.
Mr. Rodgers graduated from the George School in Newtown.
Pennsylvania, and holds a BA Cum Laude in English from Tufts
University, graduating in 1988. He spent his junior year abroad at the
University of St. Andrews in Scotland. He attended Reunion with his
family and will formally begin his tenure at the Academy in July.
I am quite excited by the development expertise he will bring to
that position as well as his understanding of the independent school
world.
