Two Join Board
The Alumni Association has elected Glenn Beebe '81 and Elizabeth Likens '96 to the Board of Visitors and Governors. Their six-year terms begin July 1.
Beebe '81 is a legislative director for the Eighth Legislative District in New Jersey. He is responsible for supervising the legislative process in his office and making sure that bills move from ideas to law. Beebe has worked for the New Jersey legislature since graduation and has hosted several Washington College student interns.
He also has served in local government as a mayor and township committeeman. He chaired the New Jersey Coin Commission that selected the New Jersey quarter for the United States Mint. A former class agent and chapter president, Beebe is past president of the Alumni Council. He and his wife, Valerie Hartzell, are members of The 1782 Society and have created an endowed book fund at the library.
"I owe Washington College a debt of gratitude for giving me a great educational opportunity," he says. Other than my parents, my four years at WC did more to mold my future than anything I have done before or since."
Likens is the Director of Development for DRADA (Depression & Related Affective Disorders Association), located in Johns Hopkins Hospital of Baltimore. She is responsible for the fundraising efforts of DRADA by identifying, cultivating and soliciting potential donors. She also focuses on increasing the association's membership. Prior to joining DRADA, Likens worked for a financial association in Bethesda, MD. She served on the Alumni Council as President of the DC Alumni Chapter until moving to Baltimore, and is a committee member of The 1782 Society.
"I value the opportunity to serve on the Board and give back to an institution that has given me so much," Likens says.
