MESUMMER 2010 LLDeveloping LeadershipER in Young Men principal’sdesk

Dear Moeller Family, I'M PLEASED to announce to you that a president has been “I hope you’ll join us in making hired for Moeller High School: William E. Hunt, who current- ly is a director of development for the University of Dayton. this new member of our As you may know, we have been studying the president- principal model for several years. After careful deliberation Moeller Family feel welcome.” and in conjunction with our new long-range strategic plan, the Advisory Board and I made the decision to move Moeller’s governance structure in this direction to further strengthen the school’s mission and vision and to ensure Moeller’s long-term viability. We believe you’ll be impressed with our new president’s stellar qualifications. Bill has 17 years of experience working with alumni, donors, faculty, and staff at the University of Dayton. He has served as UD’s director of annual giving, director of alumni programs, director of alumni relations, and a director of development. During that time Bill demonstrated measurable leadership in establishing alumni and volunteer connections with the university. He engaged more than 7,500 university alumni and friends in 34 nationwide chapter cities through his planning, marketing, and implementation of approximately 360 annual initiatives and events. He successfully cultivated volunteers, leading 13 volunteer leadership conferences and managing approximately 120 alumni and community volunteers annually through a variety of programmatic initiatives that served to build and maintain lifelong relationships with the university. As a human resources leader, he managed a board of directors responsible for the strategic direction of the university’s National Alumni Association and in a role prior to his UD years he developed an employee feedback process that enabled the staff to build process improvements, implement suggestions, and recognize individual contributions. He also created systems that helped maintain staff continuity and retain a high level of customer service. As UD’s director of alumni relations, Bill successfully administered an annual $1.1M operating budget and negotiated merchandising contracts that ensured an annual revenue stream of more than $150K for the university’s National Alumni Association. In his role as a director of development for the university, he designed and implemented a $2M leadership gift strategy to support three fundraising initiatives, and as director of annual giving his peer-to-peer solicitation plan increased leadership annual gifts by 8%. In addition to his extensive experience in university management and advancement, Bill has a background in business and in marketing, formerly serving as a regional manager for Pepsico and as a director/manag- er for the Carlson Marketing Group. He graduated from the University of Cincinnati with a B.A. in pre-management and from the University of Dayton with an M.B.A. in management. Most importantly, because of Bill’s many years at UD, he has a keen understanding of and dedication to the Marianist Charism, which is central to our culture. His years of commitment to our Catholic mission and its principles, combined with his successful development experience at the college level, make him uniquely qualified for this inaugural role at Moeller. I hope you'll join us in making this new member of our Moeller Family feel welcome. His acceptance of this impor- tant role marks a new beginning for our school and is something to celebrate as we move into our 50th anniversary year.

Yours in service,

Throughout the year Crusaders lent a hand to Hurricane Katrina victims, feeding the hungry at the annual Food Drive, the Blood Drive, and wrapping up the ReSTOC project on Republic Street. Special guests this year included members of the Invisible Children organization, Hurricane Katrina Marvin Lewis, and Vietnam veterans who shared their stories.

MOELLER • 29 crusaderconnection Picturing the Future

MARC REISEN ’02, assistant professor at the University of Cincinnati College Of Art, Design Architecture & Planning, created renderings depicting proposed renovations to the current Gallenstein Activity Center and main building, a side expansion that would include a new Performing Arts Center entrance. “These renderings are for people to dream and have a visual of what we could look like!” said Advancement Director Debbie Geiger.

“The renderings above and to the right depict the entrance to the new Performing Arts Center from the south side of our campus,” said Bill Braun ’72, Moeller’s facili- ties director. “The Center would include a new home for the Music Department by providing rehearsal space for our band, percussion, choral, and theater programs. Its placement within the architectural ‘footprint’ positions it directly adjacent to a newly renovated auditorium (see rendering below right.) The Center would also include an expansion of the cafeteria on the lower level to provide for more meeting space and more flexible lunch scheduling.”

Photo above: “The renovated auditorium would provide seating for 500, as well as work space for the production of stage scenery and ‘flyspace’ for the rigging of scenery and back drops,” explains Braun.

Photo to left: During the speaker series, Advancement Director Debbie Geiger placed the renderings on easels so the guests could get a glimpse of a future Moeller. The rendering above depicts a newly renovated Gallenstein Activity Center (AC). “The rendering of the AC shows a new entrance on the north side leading into a new locker room complex and a renovated practice area,” explains Braun.

30 • SUMMER 2010 crusaderconnection Alumni Speaker Series Opens 50th Anniversary Year

WHEN BRUCE BUCKLEY ’67 became Moeller’s 50th Anniversary Chair last fall, he knew one initiative he wanted to personally implement — an alumni speaker series. He and Advancement Director Debbie Geiger enlisted the help of alumni chairs for each decade and solicited notable alums as speakers. “I thought a speaker series would be a unique venue to reconnect with some of our alumni base,” says Buckley. “We also wanted to use these events as a way to get guys thinking about the 50th Anniversary celebration.” “Each event has had its own unique flavor,” said Buckley. “We couldn’t be happier with the success of this series.” Geiger agrees. “All the speaker events have been amazing,” she said. “We plan to make this an annual tradition!” In February, House Minority Leader John Boehner ’68 spoke to a full-capacity audience, with for- mer Principal Dan Ledford ’66 providing the introductions. “Dan introduced John as only Dan can do,” says Buckley. “His sardonic wit let everyone know John may be the House Minority Leader in Washington, but here he was just another Moeller grad. John spoke from the heart about what Moeller means to him and how he used the values he learned at Moeller during the course of his career.” Pictured: The Class of 1968 attendees.

Business executive and entrepreneur Adam Molina ’96 was the “Decade of the ’90s” guest speaker. “We were very proud to have him here,” says event chair Nick Hodge ’94. “Adam is Global Head of Business Development for 1798 Global Partners, a hedge fund started with Adam’s help in 2007. Prior to this Adam held senior executive positions in New York City at several large capital markets and hedge fund firms. He had first-hand experiences to share related to the credit crisis, hedge funds, politics, globalization, 9/11, and Enron.” Pictured, from left: Bruce Buckley ’67; Nick Hodge ’94; 50th Anniversary hon- orary chair, Bro. Robert Flaherty, S.M.; and Adam Molina ’96.

The January speaker series unofficially kicked of the 50th Anniversary activities, with Paul Keels ’75, the “Voice of the Ohio State Buckeyes,” and new TV announcer for the Reds, headlining the luncheon event at the Montgomery Inn. “Paul got us off to a great start,” says Buckley. “He did a wonderful job of connecting his days at Moeller with his broadcasting career. The guys in atten- dance had a great time. We knew after this event the series was going to be a success.” Pictured: Paul Keels ’75 took time out to be interviewed by Moeller’s WMOE broadcasters (from left: Neil INSTEAD OF A Fredrickson ’10 and Drew Fladung’10).
