Lynne Schaefer, Vice President, Administration and Finance, has been named chair of the Eastern Association of College and University Business Officers (EACUBO), effectively October 13.
Schaefer has been actively involved in the association for nearly 10 years, previously serving as chair of the region’s Research Universities Constituent Council. In 2010, she was elected to the board of directors, where she helped to develop and implement a mentoring program for senior finance and administration leaders. She has also represented the region’s chapter as part of the national Research Universities Council, where she helped develop special programming relevant to business officers at research universities.
“I am honored to serve as chair of this organization of my peers and colleagues. This is a time when our profession is increasingly challenged to support and assist our institutions to strategically find a way forward through a rapidly changing environment and increasing unknowns,” said Schaefer.
She rose to chair of EACUBO after being elected as vice chair in 2013. The leadership position is a two-year commitment.
EACUBO is an affiliate of the NACUBO. Its mission is to foster the professional development of its membership through educational programs, committee activities, and informal exchanges on current issues. Membership includes public and private colleges, universities, and other post-secondary institutions, as well as other agencies and for-profit organizations affiliated with or serving with higher education.
