The President and CEO of IHCC, Jaime di Paulo, is honored by his appointment on the Board of Directors of the Northeastern Illinois University Foundation, which begins its activities for 2020 on January 28.
One of di Paulo’s objectives as new member is to do everything to help more latino students to have access to quality education at NEIU.
Accepting his nomination Jaime di Paulo also said that he seeks to “create a pipeline of graduates into the workforce”.
The Board of Directors consists of volunteers who oversee the business affairs and property of the NEIU Foundation.
Established in 1969, the NEIU Foundation functions as an independent Illinois not-for-profit foundation whose corporate mission is to advance the interests and welfare of the University.
The Foundation is the official fundraising and private gift-receiving agency for Northeastern.
The primary functions of the Foundation are to develop private support on behalf of the University, to promote the University’s mission and to receive and administer contributions.
In this way, the Foundation plays a vital role in ensuring that the University remains highly affordable, while sretaining the highest academic standards. Private contributions, when added to state resources, add an extra dimension of support that otherwise would not be possible.
The Foundation’s Board of Directors, with the University President and Vice President of Institutional Advancement, provide leadership and direction for the Foundation’s activities.
Members of the NEIU Foundation board of directors are elected to three-year terms, and each member may serve three consecutive terms for a total of nine years.
