From the President… Mission We develop and sustain community and business partnerships, and serve as effective stewards of resources, to create quality educational opportunities that promote high performance in all students in Hanover County Schools. 2010-2011 EXECUTIVE BOARD Vernon E. Inge, Jr., LeClair Ryan, President T. Fitzgerald Rogers, County of Henrico, Vice President Jeffrey C. Robinson, Goodman & Company, Treasurer Robert C. Brown, Capital One, Secretary DIRECTORS Anna L.

Whittaker Construction, Inc. HEF STAFF Margaret P. Hill, Executive Director Anita M. Floyd, Administrative Assistant Last year was a time of change for Hanover County Public Schools and the Hanover Education Foundation. The retirement of our Superintendent, Dr. Stewart Roberson, is a big loss for our school division as he has done so many great things for Hanover County Public Schools and the Hanover Education Foundation. Rising out of that change, however, are great things. The appointment of Dr. Jamelle Wilson as our 12th Superintendent promises great things in the future. Dr. Wilson has served the school division in many capacities – from classroom teacher to Assistant Superintendent of Instruction – over the years. She has been able to observe Dr. Roberson’s leadership so that she can draw from his strengths, but she also will be able to add her exciting new ideas. We are poised for great things in the future with Hanover County Public Schools. There also has been change on the Board of the Hanover Education Foundation. The terms of Fitz Rogers, Wayne Dishman, Pamela Wratchford, Jeff Robinson, and Ann Smoot as members of the Board of Directors expired this year. They were all fantastic contributors to our Board, but I am confident that the existing board members and our new board members will step up to fill their shoes. Last year, we had a great year for the Hanover Education Foundation, raising over $322,000.00. In particular, Dr. Roberson allowed us to use his retirement as an opportunity for a fundraiser for the Stewart D. Roberson Professional Development Scholarship. Under the leadership of Sue Forbes Watson, Margaret Hill, and Anita Floyd, we were able to raise $135,000.00 toward that fund. In addition, we were able to award scholarships to 28 students totaling $51,000.00. In this, my last year as President, I am thrilled to be supported by such a strong Board and a great Executive Committee. We look forward to a great 2011 – 2012!
