CIC bids a fond farewell to Kathy LaHood, who has served as the Council’s business manager since 2000. She is leaving CIC to join her husband, Congressman Ray LaHood (R-IL), in political activities at home in Peoria. 
Melodie Davis was appointed as the new business manager
in July. Davis brings with her a great deal of relevant experience at
other nonprofit organizations, including serving as director of finance
and administration at the National Abortion Federation and, earlier,
as a finance supervisor and consultant to the District of Columbia Bar.
She holds a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and Accounting
from Howard University, and a Master of Science in Management from the
University of Maryland.CIC President Richard Ekman delivered the commencement address at Alderson-Broaddus College (WV) in May and received an honorary Ed.D. degree. He also gave the keynote address at the annual meeting of the Association of American International Colleges and Universities, held at Franklin College in Switzerland in April. In addition, Ekman has been invited to join the advisory board for the online publication, Campus Technology, the only monthly publication focusing exclusively on the use of technology across all areas of higher education. CIC Senior Counsel Marylouise Fennell was appointed by the board of trustees of Boston University to represent BU’s School of Education on the alumni board. She also co-authored an article on “If Your New President Needs a Mentor…” with Wesley College (DE) President Scott Miller that was published in Trusteeship, the magazine of the Association of Governing Boards. Elizabeth Bishop, CIC’s vice president for operations, was given the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sing with her choir, the National Philharmonic Chorale, at the Sydney Opera House in Australia on July 4.
