The Board also elected four new trustees.<\/p>\n<p>Wegman, CEO of Rochester-based Wegmans Food Markets, Inc., has served as a University trustee for more than 15 years. He and his company have been honored many times as a model employer and retailer as well as for excellence in community service. In 2010, Wegman received the University\u2019s George Eastman Medal, which honors outstanding professional achievement and dedicated service.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDanny is one of the country\u2019s most admired business leaders, a champion of our region, and a highly respected and dedicated Board member,\u201d said President Joel Seligman. \u201cI have worked closely with Danny for the past four years in our roles as co-chairs of our region\u2019s Economic Development Council. I look forward to Danny\u2019s Board leadership, as well as the contributions of our outstanding new trustees, as we take the University to the next level while strengthening and serving the Rochester community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJoel and I have had the opportunity to work together on the Finger Lakes Regional Economic Development Council for the last four years. I think we\u2019re a good team,\u201d Wegman said. \u201cWhat I couldn\u2019t help but see was that the URochester was the number one driver of jobs in the area. So to me, helping the University is helping our entire region. Second, I\u2019m extremely impressed with the quality and dedication of the University\u2019s Board members, and I look forward to working in conjunction with them to make the University and region even better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wegman will succeed chairman Edmund A. Hajim at the conclusion of the May 2016 Board meeting. Hajim, a 1958 alumnus, was elected chairman in 2008 and will transition to chairman emeritus. He has served as a University trustee since 1988.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEd\u2019s Board leadership is truly inspirational,\u201d said Seligman. \u201cHis love for the University and his dedication to making it a leading educational and research institution cannot be overstated. I am especially grateful for his leadership throughout our <em>Meliora Challenge<\/em> campaign, which has anchored a remarkable performance that will have transformative impact. Ed is a great asset to our University, and our current success is due in large part to his outstanding leadership and unwavering commitment to excellence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is one of the great privileges of my life to serve the University as Board chairman,\u201d said Hajim. \u201cUnder Joel\u2019s leadership the University has grown and built academic, research, and clinical programs that are recognized nationally and beyond. We have great momentum, and I know that we\u2019ll achieve even greater success in the coming years. I am delighted to welcome four exceptional new people to the Board, and I am very pleased to pass the torch to Danny Wegman next year. He is exactly the right person to lead the Board during this next important period for the University and the community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wegman joined Wegmans Food Markets after high school and was named a store manager in 1969, the same year he graduated with honors from Harvard University with a bachelor\u2019s degree in economics. He became president of Wegmans in 1976, and was named CEO in 2005. Today, Wegmans operates 85 stores in six states and is consistently recognized in <em>Fortune <\/em>Magazine\u2019s \u201c100 Best Companies to Work for in America,\u201d earning the No. 7 spot in 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2011, Wegman has served with Seligman as a co-chair of the Finger Lakes Regional Economic Development Council, part of New York State\u2019s community-based and performance-driven economic development program. Wegman and Seligman guide the FLREDC in developing strategic plans tailored to the Finger Lakes region\u2019s unique strengths and resources in order to create jobs, improve quality of life and grow the economy.<\/p>\n<p>In April 2014, Wegman, president and chairman of the board of The Wegman Family Charitable Foundation (WFCF), announced two major contributions to the University\u2014a $10 million lead gift to the Goergen Institute for Data Science and a $7 million gift to support the Golisano Children\u2019s Hospital. Together with previous gifts to several programs across the University campuses, the WFCF has provided $20 million to <em>The Meliora Challenge<\/em><em>: <\/em>The Campaign for the URochester.<\/p>\n<p>Wegman has also worked very closely with the University on the Hillside Work-Scholarship Connection program, founded by Wegmans in 1987 to reduce the dropout rate within the Rochester City School District. This model program, now based at the Hillside Family of Agencies, provides participating students with a part-time job, a youth advocate, and a workplace mentor at Wegmans or another participating organization, including the URochester.<\/p>\n<p>Wegman is honorary chair of the Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ Medical Center\u2019s campaign in support of <em>The Meliora Challenge<\/em>. A former member of the Medical Center Board, Wegman and his wife, Konstanze (Stency), host the Toast to Your Health Wine Auction, which supports initiatives at the Medical Center.
