Trusteeship - May/June 2020 - 32

THE 2019-2020 NASON AWARD WINNERS

Each of the subsidiaries has its own board; their chairs sit on the
20-member parent board, which is considerably smaller than the
old foundation board. Enterprise Partners has a staff of 350, half
doing development work but others working for University Realty
LLC, which acquired a building near the White House for the
university's Washington programs; Skysong Innovations, which
obtained 129 patents in fiscal 2019; an Enterprise Collaboratory at
ASU, which is spawning research projects and partnerships on a
global basis, and the other subsidiaries.
The boards all meet quarterly, but Dillon said, "I talk to Bill for
an hour every week. He's there as a sounding board for everything."
The time obligations vary, said Post. "It's probably between
20 and 30 hours a month. It's not a full-time job. When we have
opportunities or are dealing with other things, I can spend a day or
two. In between, when everything is going smoothly, I can go 10
days and not do anything."
For Post, it's payback. "Frankly, I wouldn't have had my career
without ASU. When I retired from Pinnacle West after 38 years, I
wanted to go back and do what I could to help the very place that
gave me the opportunity to do what I did," he said.

Board of Trustees

Pacific Ocean, Loyola Marymount University (LMU) is sponsored
by three Roman Catholic congregations, the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), the Religious of the Sacred Heart of Mary (Marymount sisters)
and the Sisters of St. Joseph of Orange. The Loyola Law School has
its own, compact, Frank Gehry-designed campus in downtown Los
Angeles, and LMU recently planted its flag in Playa Vista where
its School of Film and Television now shares a building with Facebook in a neighborhood dubbed LA's Silicon Beach. With its rich
heritage and enviable footprints in the nation's second largest city,
LMU admits fewer than half of applicants and its undergraduate
enrollment has risen 14 percent in the past decade to nearly 6,800.
It also educates 1,900 graduate and 1,100 law students.
But its journey in recent years has not been without challenges.
The law school, like law schools nationwide, experienced a 40 per-
