Haldeman, Mulley, both 1970 grads, will join in June
The Dartmouth Board of
Trustees has elected Charles E. Haldeman Jr., President and Chief Executive
Officer of Putnam Investments, and Albert G. Mulley Jr., Chief of the
General Medicine Division of Massachusetts General Hospital, as charter
trustees, to join the board in June.
The election in March adds a new position to the board under a plan the
trustees adopted last fall to expand the size of the group from 16 to 22
over the next several years. The new seats will consist of three charter
trustees appointed by the board and three alumni trustees nominated by the
alumni body and elected by the board. The first new alumni trustee
position will be added during the 2004-05 nomination process, according to
Susan Dentzer '77, Chair of the Board.
Dentzer, Health Correspondent and Head of the Health Policy Unit of the PBS
program The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, will retire as a charter trustee this
summer after 11 years on the board, including three as chair.
"Ed Haldeman and Al Mulley bring considerable strengths to the board in
several critical respects," Dentzer said. "Ed's exceptional
financial and investing expertise, as well as his senior management skills,
will augment our already substantial capabilities in this area. And Al's
achievements as a premier physician and researcher at one of America's top
medical schools and health-care institutions will also be of enormous benefit
as we take on the many opportunities afforded our institution through
Dartmouth Medical School and the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical
Center."
President James Wright said,
"These are two distinguished alumni who have already served the College
well. Their experience adds substantively to the range of talents represented
on the board. Their commitment to their alma mater has impressed me
always, and I look forward to working with them both."
Charles E. Haldeman Jr.

Charles E. Haldeman Jr. was appointed CEO at Putnam in
November 2003, a year after joining the firm as senior managing director and
investment head. He previously served as CEO of Delaware Investments, and as
President and Chief Operating Officer of the United Asset Management
Corp., after 24 years with Cooke and Bieler, Inc. He received an AB degree
in economics from Dartmouth in 1970, having earned Magna Cum Laude and Phi Beta
Kappa honors, and received MBA and JD degrees from Harvard in 1974.
Haldeman has served for many years in various Dartmouth volunteer
leadership capacities, including Alumni Fund leadership agent, class agent and
regional agent, and as a scholarship fund chair. He has served on the
Dean's Council, and has been active with the President's Leadership
Council for the past six years.
"Having just completed four years as a Dartmouth parent, I have an even
deeper understanding of how special the Dartmouth experience is,"
Haldeman said. "I am honored to have been given the opportunity to serve
the college."
Albert G. Mulley Jr.

Albert G. Mulley Jr., in addition to his role at
Massachusetts General, is Associate Professor of Medicine and Associate
Professor of Health Policy at Harvard. After graduating from Dartmouth as a
Rufus Choate Scholar and a Phi Beta Kappa member with an AB in biology
and psychology in 1970, he received medical and master of public policy
degrees from Harvard in 1975 and completed his residency training in internal
medicine at Massachusetts General. The author and editor of the textbook
Primary Care Medicine, he has conducted research in clinical epidemiology
and the use of decision theory and outcomes research to support clinicians and
patients in their decision-making roles. At Dartmouth, Mulley has served as a
member of the Board of Overseers of Dartmouth Medical School since 1999
and has been active with the Friends of Rowing.
"I am grateful for this opportunity to serve Dartmouth," Mulley
said. "As a Dartmouth parent who hasn't missed a women's crew race
in the past three years, I have a good sense of what life is like on campus
these days. As an overseer at the medical school, I see enormous potential
for Dartmouth to lead in reshaping not only health care but also the way
people think about health in America. My affection for and commitment to the
College couldn't be stronger."
In addition to the election of two charter trustees, the Dartmouth alumni
are in the process of nominating an alumni trustee to succeed Peter Fahey,
retired limited partner with Goldman Sachs & Co., who will step down from
the board this summer after 10 years of service. Alumni balloting on the four
alumni trustee candidates continues through April 30. Additional
information on the candidates and the process is available at the election
website.
When Dartmouth's original charter was granted in 1769, the board size was
set at 12 seats. In 1961, the board added four more seats, and since then
the board has consisted of seven charter and seven alumni trustees,
the president of the College and the governor of New Hampshire, who serves
ex officio, or as an automatic member by virtue of holding that office.
