Foundation begins search for new president and CEO
Members of the campus community are invited to submit candidates' names in
the search for a new president and CEO of the ISU Foundation.
A search advisory committee was named May 10 and is being led by Agriculture
dean Catherine Woteki and ISU alumnus Roger Underwood ('80 agriculture
business), CEO of Becker-Underwood, Ames. The foundation board of directors
also has hired an executive search firm, Educational Management
Network/Witt/Kieffer, based in Oak Brook, Ill., to identify, screen and
recruit candidates.
The advisory committee will select two or three finalists from among the
candidates for on-campus interviews. The foundation board hopes to select a
new president this fall, according to John Lawson ('62 mechanical
engineering), chair of the board.
Tom Mitchell, who has served as ISU Foundation president since February
1997, is leaving Ames next month to become vice chancellor of university
advancement at the University of California, Irvine. An announcement on an
interim foundation president is expected by the end of May.
Names of nominees may be sent to Dennis Barden, Educational Management
Network/Witt/Kieffer, 2015 Spring Rd. Suite 510, Oak Brook, Ill., 60523, or
to the e-mail address:
isufpres@emnemn.com.
Joining Woteki and Underwood on the advisory committee are:
- Ben Allen, interim vice president for external affairs and Iowa
State provost, beginning June 1.
- John DeVries ('59 industrial administration), ISU Foundation governor
and president and CEO of Colorfx, Des Moines.
- Sue Haug, associate professor and head of the music department.
- Larissa Holtmyer Jones, director of development, College of Business.
- Frank Judisch ('58 individual major), ISU Foundation governor and
