I am very happy to announce the election of three new members to the Crossroads Board of Trustees: Marc Millman, Ilene Resnick Weiss and Michael Levin. We welcome our newest trustees and look forward to the wealth of knowledge, experience and leadership they bring to the board.
New Trustees Elected by Bob Friedman Chair, Crossroads School Board of Trustees
A native of Chicago, Marc Millman and his wife, Keri Levitus, moved to Los Angeles from New York City in 2004. Marc has worked in the investment management industry for the past 15 years. Since moving to Los Angeles, Marc has worked at Cerberus Capital Management, a multi-strategy hedge fund. At Cerberus, Marc has focused on finding, evaluating and executing investments in distressed securities—primarily bank debt and bonds. Marc and Keri have two daughters, Isabella, 7, and Cecelia, 4. For both Marc and Keri, progressive education has become a passion. Marc says: “Keri and I have felt fortunate to be part of the School’s community. As a member of the board, I hope to continue to contribute positively to the School and to add value wherever I can. Crossroads is a special place, and I will endeavor to ensure that it remains so.” Ilene Resnick Weiss graduated from Bard College with a bachelor’s degree in political science and from L’Ecole de Cuisine Francois with a degree in Culinary Arts, before earning an MBA from UCLA. She worked in the restaurant business for 10 years with increasing levels of responsibility, eventually owning and operating her own restaurant for two years. She worked as a strategist for Roll Global corporation, solving problems across a wide range of functions and businesses. Ilene has been an active volunteer since joining the Crossroads community. She particularly enjoyed her years as the community service parent and is currently involved with helping Anthony Locke revamp the Middle School community service program. She is a trustee of P.S. ARTS and is proud of the charity work that she and her brothers have achieved—awarding grants focused on education, the arts, healthy lifestyles, and poverty to deserving programs, most of which are based in Los Angeles. Ilene and her husband, Daniel Weiss, are the parents of two Crossroads students, Lucy, 14, and Oliver, 12. continued on Page 16
