Aubrey W. Haines

Chair of the Board Chief Executive Officer, Mercer Oak Realty, LLC

Aubrey Haines began his tenure as chair of the Thomas Edison State University Foundation Board in December 2019. Originally appointed to the Board in 2015, Haines served on various board committees and as vice chair for two years before taking the helm.

Haines and his wife, Suzie, have generously hosted a number of Foundation Board events at their historic Mount Laurel, N.J., home built by Haines’ ancestors in 1769. In September, they welcomed a small group for an outdoor gathering to celebrate Foundation Board member and 2020 Grande Ball Spirit of Edison Award honoree, Dr. Deborah Mican, vice president of Patient Care Services and chief nursing officer at Capital Health. While the traditional Grande Ball couldn’t be held in person due to COVID-19, the Haines’ gracious celebration provided a safe venue to recognize Mican along with the staff at Capital Health for their extraordinary sacrifice and service throughout the pandemic.

Haines has more than 34 years of experience in the Princeton commercial real estate market. His extensive experience includes acquiring and marketing office and industrial space, directing land development, consulting and investment property sales and purchases.
