Two Lawrence business professionals join LMH Endowment Association staff Caroline Trowbridge, longtime Lawrence Journal-World reporter and editor, is the new planned giving specialist at LMHEA. And Earl Reineman, longtime vice president at Weaver’s Department Store, is the Endowment’s new major gifts specialist. Trowbridge is a University of Kansas Journalism School graduate and worked for 30 years at the Journal-World, most recently as managing editor. The award-winning journalist also had been editor and publisher at Tonganoxie and Basehor Trowbridge Reineman newspapers owned by the JournalWorld’s parent company. She is a former president of Kansas Press Association and serves on the board of trustees of the William Allen White School of Journalism. “I’ve been an admirer of Lawrence Memorial Hospital for many years,” Trowbridge said. “There aren’t many places that I would leave the world of journalism for, and LMH was on that very short list.” Reineman began his career at Weaver’s in 1989, helping with the day-to-day management and operation of the company. He has been active in numerous community organizations, including Leadership Lawrence, United Way of Douglas County and Downtown Lawrence Inc. “I’m so fortunate,” Reineman said, “to move from one local icon to another. I’m especially excited to be able to blend my business experience with my community service experience at the Endowment Association.” “It’s great to have the talent and professionalism of Caroline and Earl on the LMH Endowment Association team,” said Kathy Clausing Willis, vice president and chief development officer for Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
