Dear Sustainability Consortium Colleagues:

As you may be aware, Kim Randle, Director of Corporate and Foundation Relations for University Development, recently accepted a new position spearheading regional outreach in Arkansas and neighboring states for Houston-based Clean Line Energy Partners. Kim has played a vital and highly effective role in the formative years of The Sustainability Consortium. We are deeply indebted to her for the passion and professionalism she has contributed over the past three years. Please know of Kim’s high regard for each of you. Knowing that many of you will want to express your best wishes, if you haven’t already, her new email address is: krandle@cleanlineenergy.com

Another valuable contribution was Kim’s help in creating a dedicated position within her office that will focus exclusively on Consortium fundraising and membership. After a national search, we are pleased to introduce Greg Lewis. On January 18, Greg assumed the Assistant Director position with our Corporate and Foundations Relations team dedicated to serving The Consortium and its development needs. Greg and his family have relocated from Baltimore, Maryland, where he was employed at the Washington D.C.-based non-profit, Northeast-Midwest Institute. He served as Program Director and was responsible for raising capital from regional corporations and national and locale specific foundations to support one of their flagship initiatives focused at rejuvenating economically struggling urban areas and disadvantaged communities.

Greg brings important insight, experience, and contacts to the work of The Consortium. He can be reached at: gwlewis@uark.edu or by calling Jennifer Quinton at (479) 575-4594. Kate Sutterfield will continue to support The Consortium and Greg in his new role. Kate’s contact information is: kate@uark.edu and (479) 575-7759.

Please join us in welcoming Greg to both the University of Arkansas and to The Consortium.

Best regards,

Jon Johnson
Co-Director
