Welcome

The 2022 Development Board

Development Board 2022

For more than 130 years, the University of Texas Medical Branch has provided an impressive return on investment for the people of Texas and beyond, by educating a diverse and highly skilled health care work force; by advancing the understanding and treatment of illness and injury through groundbreaking research; and by providing world-class primary and advanced medical care at UTMB hospitals, clinics and centers, including UTMB's Level 1 Trauma Center and Level 1 Burn Center. In short, UTMB has helped define Texas medicine.

As the record-breaking $450 million Working Wonders Campaign demonstrated with its early completion in 2017, we are stronger and better when we "Work Together to Work Wonders." It is working together with the UTMB Development Board that we are able to achieve new philanthropic goals for UTMB, which translates into increased support for worthy programs, capital projects, student scholarships, faculty endowments and research.

Development Board members play a key role in UTMB’s efforts to broaden its base of philanthropic support by serving as local, regional, national and international ambassadors who share the good news of the extraordinary work taking place at the university.

UTMB is strengthened when community leaders dedicate their time, talents and expertise to advancing health care, education and research -- and the Development Board is a crucial partner in this effort. Each member brings talent and expertise to the board, providing new perspectives, new networks of engagement and new philanthropic resources for the betterment of the university.

Mission

The UTMB Development Board exists to foster goodwill and be an advocate for the university; to promote its strengths, address its challenges and make the most of its opportunities; to assist UTMB in maintaining a strong financial position; and to provide counsel on issues, programs and processes that lead to a stronger, more efficient and effective UTMB. Through their wisdom, influence, work and resources, Development Board members, in partnership with university leaders, help UTMB enrich the communities we serve through our patient care, education and research endeavors.
