A new Leadership Advisory Board, spearheaded by Todd Thomson, WG'87, chairman and CEO of the global wealth management division of Citigroup, has been created to link Wharton with top leaders in business, public service, government, entertainment, and sports.

The advisory board, which met for the first time last November, includes the following members: Maria Bartiromo, CNBC anchor, Alain J.P. Belda, director, chairman and CEO of Alcoa, Peter M. Dawkins, vice chairman of Citigroup Private Bank, Florida Senator (Ret.) Connie Mack of Shaw Pittman LLP, Andrall E. Pearson, founding chairman of YUM! Brands Inc., Lewis E. Platt, chairman of The Boeing Co., David S. Pottruck, former CEO of The Charles Schwab Corp. and managing director of The Pottruck Group, Dean Smith, former head basketball coach at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and Thomson.

A $500,000 gift from Thomson and his wife, Melissa, to the Wharton Center for Leadership and Change Management, will support the Center's research and leadership development programs.
