Reggie 林 ’76 Receives Anne Kane McGuire Award for 杰出的服务

After graduating from Foxcroft in 1976, Reggie received her BS in Pharmacy with high honors from the University of 佛罗里达 before matriculating to Harvard Business School where she was awarded her MBA with distinction. For the next 45 years she would alternate between her love of science and her keen interest in business, specifically strategic business consulting, 战略发展, 和金融, by working in various management positions for companies and organizations including Medtronics, Kaiser Permanente, 埃格莱斯顿儿童医院, the 佛罗里达 Pharmacy Association, 麦肯锡 & 公司与科学.

During all this time, Foxcroft was never far from Reggie’s mind or heart. In the years since her graduation, she supported her School generously, served as a Class Representative and on the 女校友协会, 共同主持了她的聚会, participated as a Career Day speaker, and served as a Trustee during two different times in the School’s history. First she served during the recession of the 1990s, 经济困难时期, 尤其是威尼斯彩票游戏. During her second tenure on the Board, she co-chaired the 搜索 Committee that brought Cathy McGehee to the School as Foxcroft’s 9th Head in 2014 and served as Chair of the Board during this important transition in the School’s leadership. Today, she continues to lend her expertise as an ex-officio member of the Investment Committee.

Reggie once wrote that her goal for Foxcroft was, “Financial stability and educational excellence.” During her first term as a trustee, Reggie led the School in the development of its most comprehensive strategic plan; a plan that has served as the basis for future strategic plans. In her second round of service on the Board, she served as Chair of Finance, 董事会司库, and then Board Chair when Foxcroft received Ruth Bedford’s extraordinary bequest of over $40 million. Knowing that this was a once in a lifetime opportunity for the School, Reggie led the Board in financial modeling, 生成的讨论, and careful deliberation so that this transformational gift would address current and future needs of the School while honoring the woman whose legacy ensured Foxcroft would survive for many generations to come. These are but two of the many intangible gifts that Reggie has given the School over the last four decades. 

And lest you think that Reggie is all work and no play, just ask a loyal Foxcroft Hound about the time Reggie short-sheeted her bed in retaliation for finding Hound towels in this Fox’s bathroom at Spur and Spoon!

When asked about her hopes for the School’s future, 雷吉写道, “I would like to see Foxcroft continue its traditions yet keep up with the changing world in which we live. I believe it is important for each student to graduate with self-esteem and a will to achieve, for it is only through one’s image of oneself that they will be able to strive for those ultimate goals.”

她所做的一切, 她的工作, her service and her care for her family, 儿子罗伯99499威尼斯信誉·盖利, 父母Una和Asa, Reggie embodies the qualities of a Foxcroft graduate -  intellect, 声音和角色. 

感谢她的领导, 忠诚, and outstanding service to Foxcroft, the Board of Trustees and Cathy McGehee, 校长, honor Reggie 林 by presenting Foxcroft’s highest award, the Anne Kane McGuire 杰出的服务 Award.
