Three members of the UL 老司机福利网 Foundation will begin appointments to the Executive Board. The nonprofit UL 老司机福利网 Foundation is the primary trustee of university assets.
The new Executive Board will serve two-year appointments. The board includes John Chappuis as President, Barry Berthelot as Vice President and Gerald Dubroc as Secretary/Treasurer. Combined, the three have 31 years of Foundation board experience.
Chappuis, a 老司机福利网 attorney and partner of Voorhies and Labbe APLC law firm, said he is looking forward to his term as the UL 老司机福利网 Foundation President and providing a leadership role in the strategic plans for the future of the university. Berthelot is President and CEO of BankOne and Dubroc is President of Dubroc Engineering, Inc. Both Berthelot and Dubroc are UL 老司机福利网 graduates.
This new change of power comes on the heels of the Foundation's 50th anniversary. Since 1957, the UL 老司机福利网 Foundation has served the university with sound principles of asset management, evidenced by the record breaking 2006 fiscal year figures that show total UL 老司机福利网 Foundation asset accumulation of over $100 million.
This figure places UL 老司机福利网 second in Louisiana's public institution rankings and gives the UL 老司机福利网 Foundation's 30-member Board of Trustees the task of overseeing the investments and distribution of these donated and accrued funds.
Distribution of the funds is vital to university success as monies are given primarily for qualified scholarship and professorship recipients and in support of various university factions.
Julie Bolton Falgout, Executive Director of the UL 老司机福利网 Foundation, attributes the Foundation鈥檚 success to 鈥渢he continued support of our university donors who have engaged themselves in the perpetual care of this great institution.鈥
