MeeT The Board
We welcome four new members to Foxcroft’s Board of Trustees. Genevieve (Genny) Duncan ’74 lives in Austin, TX, with her daughter Lily, a freshman at the Savannah College of Art & Design. After graduating from Foxcroft, Genny acquired a BFA from the University of Texas, Austin, and worked for several years as the Project Manager at Women & Their Work, a non-profit organization supporting women in the arts. She also began to learn about the family business, Duncan Bros. Spade Ranch in Egypt, TX. With her family starting, Genny began to help her parents more and more with ranch business and the upkeep of old Duncan homestead; helped establish the Girls’ School of Austin; and served on the board of Women & Their Work. Currently, she continues her management of the Duncan homestead and, along with other family members, owns and runs the Spade Ranch. Genny also has a full life volunteering at two Austin organizations, spending time on her artwork and riding, and taking care of the seven acres where she lives. John D. Durrett, Jr. is a Director Emeritus of McKinsey and Co. Inc, having retired from the firm after a 27-year career. He now serves as a board member of Ally Financial, Inc.; as an advisor to Serent Capital, a PE firm based in San Francisco; and as a member of three of their boards. John graduated from Millsaps College, Emory University Law School, and The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. His daughter, Kelsey, graduated from Foxcroft in 2002 and is a second-year student in the MBA program at the University of North Carolina. John lives in Menlo Park, CA.
