Creighton University’s Board of Trustees elected two longtime Omaha community leaders as the new chair and vice chair of the University’s 35-member governing body at its June 1 meeting.
Mike McCarthy, a board member since 2006, will serve as board chair, succeeding Bruce Rohde, BSBA’71, JD’73, who has served as chair since 2011. Bruce Grewcock, a board member since 2008, succeeds vice chair Dick Kizer, BSBA’71, JD’73, who has also served in a leadership role since 2011. Rohde and Kizer will remain on the board.
Creighton President-elect the Rev. Daniel Hendrickson, S.J., Ph.D., expressed enthusiasm for the board’s actions. “Our decision maintains a great tradition of strong leadership of the board,” he said. “Mike McCarthy and Bruce Grewcock bring genuine care and concern for Creighton, high regard in the city of Omaha and global perspective in their careers.”
McCarthy is founding partner and chairman of McCarthy Group, an investment holding company headquartered in Omaha since its founding in 1986. Grewcock is president, chief executive officer and chairman of the board of Peter Kiewit Sons’ Inc.
