August 15, 2002 — The University of Utah Alumni Association has named Jeffrey L. Hilton president of its board of directors and Pamela T. Greenwood vice president of the board. Both will serve three-year terms.

Hilton, who will also serve on the University’s Board of Trustees, is partner/owner of Integrated Marketing Group in Salt Lake City. A 1978 graduate of the U, Hilton has been recognized by Advertising Age magazine as one of the nation’s Top 100 Marketers and is a frequent speaker at marketing conferences throughout the United States.

Hilton and Greenwood will lead a 24-member board that serves more than 200,000 University of Utah alumni. The board raises money for student scholarships, performs community service throughout Utah, and serves the University through events such as Homecoming and Founders Day, advocacy programs, and student recruiting.

“This is a tremendous privilege and opportunity to serve the devoted alumni of this great institution, and I look forward to forging new associations and partnerships over the coming years,” says Hilton.

Nine new members will also join the board this fall. They include J. Kevin Bischoff of Regence BlueCross BlueShield; Marilyn Matheson Branch, appellate court administrator; Stephen G.
