A3 announces newest board member
LOS ANGELES (A3) A3 is thrilled to welcome Michael C. Eicher to its Board of Directors. In its official February meeting, Eicher was unanimously elected to the board effective immediately.
As Senior Vice President for Advancement at The Ohio State University (OSU) since 2012, Eicher will bring vast experience to the A3 board and serve on the development committee.
Joe Handley, president of A3 explained: “Mike brings a lot of wisdom from his amazing career in advancement. Having led three major university’s multi-billion dollar capital campaigns and overseeing all of their external relations, Mike is uniquely equipped to help strengthen our vision 'to see a vibrant community of servant leaders… leading the Church across Asia.' ”
According to OSU’s Advancement website, “Eicher leads efforts to realize the full power and potential of The Ohio State University through complete integration and synthesis of the work of communications and marketing, alumni relations and fundraising.” All of this expertise promises to benefit A3.
Prior to 2012, Eicher previously served in senior development and communications roles at Johns Hopkins University and UCLA.
Eicher reflected on this new appointment:
“Having spent some time on several occasions with the A3 Board, I am humbled and very excited about the opportunity to join this vibrant and dynamic group of leaders in such an important and meaningful mission. I look forward to following God's lead, learning from the wisdom and experience of the group, and contributing to the movement.”
The initial term of new board members is three years in duration, but is renewable. A3 looks forward to a great relationship with Mike Eicher, who has connected with Joe Handley in past roles.
Handley added: “I’ve known Mike and his wife Inez for many years dating back to my tenure at Rolling Hills Covenant Church where Mike served on the elder council while he was the Vice Chancellor for External Affairs at UCLA.
“I’ve watched Mike shine as he moved across the country. Now to add someone of such great leadership, wisdom and knowledge to our board of directors is a great blessing.” Handley said.
