Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe announced three new appointees to the William & Mary Board of Visitors in June: William H. Payne II ’01, Christopher M. Little and Lisa E. Roday. They joined Sue H. Gerdelman ’76, who was first appointed to the board by McAuliffe in 2013 to fill an unexpired term. Their term began July 1, 2014.

Payne, communications director for the Virginia Sheriffs’ Institute and Virginia Sheriffs’ Association; Little, a retired publishing and media executive who served as president of Newsweek; and Roday, a consultant who specializes in time management, fundraising and legal issues, replace Charles A. Banks III HON ’05, Edward L. Flippen M.B.A. ’67, J.D. ’74 and L. Clifford Schroeder Sr. HON ’08. Gerdelman has held a number of leadership roles at W&M, including serving as chair of the William & Mary Foundation, and now has a significant role in the university’s philanthropic efforts.
