OUR TEAM IS GROWING

As we head into December, we’re excited about ending the year with new beginnings—the addition of two new Tuft associates.

I’m pleased to welcome Jeanette Lancaster, PhD, RN, FAAN and Mary McMahon, BBA. These two top professionals will further broaden our expertise in searches for qualified academic and association leaders.

Jeanette joins Tuft & Associates after her highly successful years as the former Dean and Sadie Heath Cabanniss Professor of Nursing at the University of Virginia’s School of Nursing, followed by her appointment as a visiting professor of nursing at the University of Hong Kong. Based in Knoxville, Tennessee, she is a visiting professor at Vanderbilt University. Recognized as a leader in the field of nursing, Jeanette is a Fellow in the American Academy of Nursing and the former President of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (ACCN). Jeanette will join our team of associates leading searches for universities, associations and other organizations in the fields of nursing, medicine and health care.

Mary McMahon brings more than 15 years of association experience, having served as Director of Human Resources for SmithBucklin Corporation, the world’s largest association management company. Based in Chicago, Mary has wide-ranging knowledge of the field of human resources, recruiting and other employment areas. She has recruited top professionals for business and health care associations, professional societies and technology user groups. Mary will focus on executive searches for associations and nonprofit organizations.

I invite you to learn more about Jeanette and Mary—along with the entire Tuft team. We look forward to working with you toward new success in the coming years.

Mary Ann Tuft, CAE
