Rancho Santa Fe resident new trustee at UC San Diego Foundation

The UC San Diego Foundation, which raises and manages charitable gifts for the University of California, San Diego, announces that 10 new trustees will join the Foundation board, for a total of 42-members. The board oversees the management of approximately $600 million in charitable assets, including $375 million in endowment. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011, the campus expects private support to total approximately $120 million.

“The UC San Diego Foundation Board plays a vital role at the university. Given the continuing decline in funding from the State, raising and managing charitable support is critical to our future,” said Chancellor Marye Anne Fox. “Our trustees are philanthropists, stewards and ambassadors who wholeheartedly support the university, and they help others to understand the positive impact UC San Diego has on our region and our world.”

The new trustees, one of the largest groups to join the board at one time, represent alumni, supporters and friends of the university and bring a diverse set of skills, perspectives and experiences to the board. The new members from Rancho Santa Fe include:

• Ann Reed is a former accountant with Deloitte Haskins & Sells in Denver, Colorado. She is the parent of two UC San Diego alumni and one current UC San Diego undergraduate, with a son-in-law also attending the university. She has supported many areas of the campus, including music and the arts.

The new trustees replace a group of eight UC San Diego trustees whose six-year terms were completed June 30, 2011.
