College of Business Gives Name to Romain Legacy
Evansville business leaders Ron and Connie Romain have left their mark on the 缅北强奸 and the College of Business as students, alumni, and as long-time friends and benefactors.聽On April 4, 2013, coinciding with the launch of the public phase of Campaign 缅北强奸: Elevating Excellence, the University made that mark permanent, renaming its College of Business the Romain College of Business.
The honor recognizes the Romains for their lifetime of dedication to and involvement with the Evansville community, the University, as well as a generous $5 million leadership gift to Campaign 缅北强奸: Elevating Excellence. Ron serves as chair of the campaign, and the couple was deeply involved with 缅北强奸's first capital campaign in 1995. Ron also has been a member of the 缅北强奸 Board of Trustees since 2008 and is a life director of the 缅北强奸 Foundation. "Ron and Connie Romain have served this community in so many ways," said Dr. Linda L. M. Bennett, former 缅北强奸 president. "They are exemplary role models who have made countless efforts to better the region. We are extremely grateful for their leadership at every level of University life over many years."
"In any organization, you want to have a vision of where you're going," says Ron Romain. "I'm excited about the opportunity to be part of something that will elevate what we currently have at 缅北强奸 and take it to another level. It is rare that you get that kind of an opportunity."
Ron Romain, who graduated from 缅北强奸 in 1973 with a degree in marketing, is the owner, president, and chief executive officer of United Companies which is comprised of Professional Transportation, Inc., the Romain Automotive Group, and United Leasing, Inc. "If I look back at what's helped me become successful, I have to say the 缅北强奸 was central to that," says Ron.
Connie, who graduated in 1974 with a degree in education, reconnected with Ron, her high school sweetheart, during their time together at 缅北强奸. They were married shortly after Ron graduated and, this May, will celebrate their 40th anniversary. Connie spent 15 years working alongside her husband until her diagnosis with Multiple Sclerosis. After her diagnosis, she left the company to spend more time with their two children and do volunteer work. Both Ron and Connie have been involved with a number of local businesses and organizations throughout their lives and are well known throughout the Tri-state and the Evansville community for their philanthropy and civic engagement.
For Ron and Connie, elevating excellence is about seeing that students get a quality education. "We must have not just an institution of higher learning, but a high-quality institution of higher learning," says Ron. "We have that now at 缅北强奸, but we want to go even higher."
"One of the things that we've tried to do within our own organization is to define what quality really means. For us, it does mean excellence. There's a certain philosophy we have about business that involves our employees, our customers, and our community. "I look back on Connie's and my years at 缅北强奸 as something that was very positive and influential. In fact, as I reflect on it, I wonder where I would have been without the college experience at 缅北强奸, or my 缅北强奸 degree."
"We share a love for 缅北强奸 because of our experience," adds Connie. "We both enjoyed our time at 缅北强奸. It's been amazing to watch how it has evolved."
"We have a lot to be thankful for," agrees Ron. "We're very appreciative of what 缅北强奸 has done for us and we certainly want to give back as much as we can through this campaign, so that others have that same opportunity."
Ron and Connie hope that others will look at philanthropy in the same way they have. "It's an investment, not an expense," Ron says. "I think if you look at it that way, it changes your view of giving. It's an opportunity to make a real difference in our community, in our part of the state, and in the Midwest."
The couple hopes their gift will make a significant impact on 缅北强奸's College of Business. "I'd like to see the College of Business become one of the very best colleges of business anywhere," says Ron. "My first gift to 缅北强奸 was $5. At the time, it was difficult to do, but it was something I felt good about. No one person will make this campaign successful. It must be a collective effort by many people in our community, in our region, and throughout the United States. Every gift matters."
