Dr. Marc A. Barnes, UNCF's next senior vice president of principal gifts.
Since 2013, Barnes served as Dillard University’s vice president for institutional advancement. Dillard is one of UNCF’s 37 Historically Black Colleges and Universities member institutions. In his new role, Barnes will work directly with Dr. Michael L. Lomax, president and CEO of UNCF.

Barnes will begin at UNCF on June 1.
