Joining the board this summer, these new trustees
bring a wealth of experience to HEMF.
Will

Liam

Foster

Anne B. Standish (Wyndmoor, Pa.)
Anne's Mowglis connections run several generations deep. The
Standish family's most recent graduate is Anne's son, Will (Den
2006), who followed in the footsteps of his father, Baird ('71), who
in turn is related to Col. Matthew Baird (1916) and our current
trustee Steve Minich (‘71).
Anne is a media industry veteran who has held positions in
marketing, promotion, events and administration at Warner
Amex, TCI, Sheridan Broadcasting Network, HBO and the
Nostalgia Networks. She is currently employed with WHYY, the
National Public Radio affiliate in Philadelphia, and recently coordinated
WHYY's regional efforts for Ken Burns's new series, “The
War,” which premiered in September.
A native of Pittsburgh, she is a graduate of Smith College with
a B.A. in the History of Art. She also studied art history at
Williams College.
Leigh Anne Leas (South Orange, N.J.)
Leigh Anne first learned about Mowglis at a camp fair in
Princeton NJ in 2004. She and her husband Dirk were introduced
to Mowglis by alumni Cam Carothers (‘05) and his dad Stu (‘69).
That summer, her son Liam started at Mowglis as a Cub and has
returned every year since.
Leigh Anne has over 15 years experience in the pharmaceutical
and healthcare industries. She currently serves as the Executive
Director of Strategy & Operations for the US Managed Markets
division of Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation. Her previous
pharmaceutical experience includes government pricing/contracting,
managed care strategy and product director roles with
Novartis, Bristol-Myers Squibb and Johnson & Johnson. She is an
active member of the Healthcare Businesswomen's Association
and the United Methodist Church and a frequent volunteer at her
son's school. The Leas have just relocated to South Orange, N.J.
after spending six years as residents of Princeton, N.J.
Foster “Forty” Conklin (Norwood, N.J.)
Foster is a second-generation Mowglis, following in the footsteps
of his father, Dr. E. Foster Conklin, Den of 1944. A graduate of
Boston University, Foster has over 20 years of experience as a
financial advisor for Merrill Lynch. This past summer the
Conklin lineage extended to a third generation when Foster sent
his son, Foster III, as a Cub. When he is not working or parenting
his two children, Foster enjoys singing with University Glee
Club of New York City. He lives in Norwood, N.J. with his wife
Sandra, daughter Janet, son Foster III and their black lab, Sage.
