The UW Foundation has an additional development director working on behalf of the School of Business. Eric Billman joined the UW Foundation in June.

Billman has a BS in civil engineering from Purdue University and an MBA from Carnegie Mellon University. His professional experience includes positions related to development in higher education. His previous positions included posts with Ketchum, Inc., in Dallas, Texas, and with Carnegie Mellon's Graduate School of Industrial Administration.

Billman joins Jim Kubek as the second member of a team working primarily on behalf of the business school under the direction of Karen Crossley, vice president at the UW Foundation. "We are very pleased to have Eric with us. I'm confident his talents and broad experience will serve the business school and university well," Crossley said.
