(Vocus/PRWEB ) June 19, 2009 -- Antioch University New England (ANE) is pleased to announce the appointment of its first board of trustees. Martha Summerville, president of Summerville Consulting, LLC, and a 1985 alumna of Antioch New England, will serve as board chair. Charlton MacVeagh, a thirty-year banking industry veteran and former trustee and board chair for Franklin Pierce University, will serve as vice-chair.
“I am honored to welcome these esteemed community members to ANE’s inaugural board of trustees,” said ANE president David Caruso. “Each board member brings significant life experience and great wisdom to our campus. I look forward to working closely with them over the coming years.”
