Coldwell Banker Funkhouser Realtors' principal broker, Joe Funkhouser, was named the Rector of JMU's Board of Visitors last month -- a high honor for Mr. Funkhouser, and a great responsibility for providing leadership at James Madison University.
From today's Daily News Record article....
Funkhouser says his and the board’s job lies in meeting state and federal educational goals, including turning out more graduates — especially in science, technology, engineering and math fields — and ensuring the accessibility and affordability of a JMU education. Boards of visitors at the state-run universities are responsible for approving budgets, policies and the schools’ top administrators and faculty, and making other decisions affecting the schools’ long-term direction.
Holding a leadership position is nothing new for Funkhouser, who has a breadth of experience on local, state and national boards, including the Virginia and National associations of Realtors, Rockingham Memorial Hospital board of directors, Harrisonburg Electric Commission, RMH Capital Campaign and Rockingham Heritage Bank Board.
He also served on the Virginia Real Estate Board from 1995 to 2003 and was reappointed by McDonnell to the board in 2010. Nearly seven of the first eight years Funkhouser served on that board were as chairman.
In 2009, Funkhouser was named the Harrisonburg-Rockingham Chamber of Commerce Business Person of the Year.
