Pamela Flaherty will be the first woman to chair the Johns Hopkins University Board of Trustees.
BALTIMORE (Map, News) - Citigroup Foundation President and Chief Executive Officer Pamela Flaherty will take over next month as the first woman chair of the Johns Hopkins University’s board of trustees, the university announced Monday.
“[Flaherty] is a role model and an inspiration for other Hopkins women,” university President William Brody said in a statement.
Flaherty, 62, is a 10-year veteran of the board of trustees, Johns Hopkins’ governing body, and an alumna of the university’s Nitze School of Advanced International Studies.
She was elected to the position earlier this month to replace outgoing chair Raymond “Chip” Mason, president and CEO of Legg Mason Inc.
Flaherty could not be reached for comment because she is in China to mark the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Hopkins-Nanjing Center for Chinese and American Studies.
She hopes to focus on financial aid, recruitment and retention of top faculty, diversity and research funding in her new position according to Hopkins spokesman Dennis O’Shea.
The Mississippi native started her 39-year career with Citigroup in Citibank’s International Banking Group.
She moved up through the company ranks, serving as Citigroup’s senior vice president of corporate citizenship before being appointed president and CEO of the company’s philanthropic arm, Citigroup Foundation, in January.
In 2006, Citigroup Foundation gave out more than $92 million in 86 countries and territories, according to the organization’s Web site.
Flaherty has memberships on the boards of various nonprofit organizations, including the Local Initiatives Support Corporation, ACCION International, Kenyon College, Colonial Williamsburg and the Nature Conservancy Long Island Chapter. She is also a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.
“I feel blessed by the current leadership to be named chairman of the board of trustees,” Flaherty said in a statement.

If not solved in primary or secondary, Black males (Black people) must settle the identity question during post secondary work. Black male and female students in Baltimore must be INSPIRED to learn through innovative means. Black male students have to be taught the very basics of education and SOCIAL skills.

I believe the problem with low attendence of black males in college is a cultural issue not a fairness issue.

You mean all it takes to get black males to go to college is have black professors? Wow, I wish it was that easy. There is a nation-wide trend for more women than men in post-high school education; right now the gap is about 55% women and 45% men and getting wider. How does the issue of the race require different tactics than simply being a male?

As a retired teacher, I am happy to see black young men with a continued positive influence post- high school. I do hope that the program developes with enormous success and extend itself to young black adolences prior to exiting High School. We need to give them a little motivation during the middle school experience. If that is not an option, well, I guess those wilth the inner drive will continue graduating for some institude beyond High School will do so! But, statistics are evidence, the we are losing them before High School! Grades 6th - 8th have been the points of deciding whether to lead or to follow. Our black youth need you, as a group positive black role models to implement some incentives to motivate their self-esteem and ethnocentric pride! May God bless you in this endeavor that may enlighten others to join your cause that can make difference in our city and others!
