Three Join Board
The Board of Visitors and Governors has announced the appointment
of three new trustees: Thomas Crouse ’59, appointed through
the Alumni Council; Edward Nordberg ’82, appointed by
Maryland Governor Robert  Ehrlich
in accordance with the College charter; and H. Lawrence Culp
’85, appointed by the Board. Nordberg will serve a full
six-year term, and Crouse and Culp will serve five years, replacing
outgoing trustees John Flato ’69 and Libby Cater Halaby
H’90.
Crouse is chairman and founder of CIG International, LLC, a
venture capital and investment firm headquartered in Washington,
DC, with regional offices in New York, Chicago and Orlando.
Prior to establishing CIG in 1985, Crouse worked for Citibank
for 15 years, 10 of which he spent in Tokyo, Hong Kong and Jakarta.
After an additional six years with a West Coast Bank and DC-based
trading company, Crouse launched the venture that became CIG.
He holds an MBA from Columbia University.
Over the past several years, he has played increasingly important
leadership roles. Serving as 40th Reunion Chair with classmate
Ellen Reilly, he generated record levels of class giving that
paid for the restoration of Norman James Theatre. He served
as the first Chair of the Visiting Committee, is a member of
the Milestone Council and  the

Award in February.
Formerly an attorney with the Washington firm of Williams &
Connolly, Ed Nordberg co-founded Health Care Financial Partners
in 1993, serving as executive vice president, chief financial
officer, and a corporate director. In 1999, Health Care Financial
Partners was sold and Nordberg went on to co-found Medical Office

serves as the chief executive officer. He holds an MBA from
Loyola College and a J.D. from Georgetown University.
Before joining the Board, Nordberg served on the College’s
Visiting Committee. A member of the Milestone Council, he has
made a leadership gift to the lacrosse endowment and established
a scholarship that honors his grandmother, Helen Adams.
Nordberg is active in community service and is currently Chairman
of the Board of Directors of the National Advisory Board for
Rebuilding Together, a non-profit organization dedicated to
improving the living conditions of low-income, elderly and disabled
individuals. He also is a supporter of the  Tewaaraton
Trophy, which is given each year by the University Club of Washington,
DC, to the most accomplished men’s and women’s collegiate
lacrosse players.
Culp is President and CEO of Danaher, a Fortune 500 company
with a $14 billion market capitalization. Danaher is a world
leader in the development and manufacture of process and environmental
instrumentation, electronic test equipment, precision motion
controls and product identification systems. Culp is credited
with developing the successful Danaher Business System (DBS)
philosophy and management process that guides the Danaher group
of companies. He holds an MBA from Harvard Business School.
“Tom, Ed and Larry are highly talented, highly motivated
individuals whose energy and ideas will be essential as we guide
this College into the twenty-first century,” said Jay
Griswold, Chairman of the Board of Visitors and Governors. “I
welcome them back to their alma mater and greatly look forward
to working with them.” |
