R. ROSS HARRIS |
"Ms. R. Ross Harris has been named
Executive Director of the Institute of Political Leadership (IOPL), effective
July 1, 2014.
The
Institute is a non-partisan, nonprofit organization whose mission is to educate
future political and community leaders in modern campaign strategy, ethical
decision making, and governance, such that its participants will have a sound
grounding in ethical behavior, consensus building, and cooperative and
collaborative leadership. No other program in North Carolina offers such a
comprehensive curriculum in strategic non-partisan political leadership
development. In 2013, IOPL merged with the NC Center for Women in Public
Service.
Harris is a
native of Greensboro, and graduated from Duke University with an AB in Public
Policy and an MBA from the Fuqua School of Business. She has extensive
experience as both a campaign manager and political strategist in partisan,
nonpartisan, and referendum campaigns in North Carolina.
Additionally,
Harris has over 30 years of experience in marketing, public relations, and
communications, both domestically and internationally, for several Fortune 500
companies as well as many companies and organizations in North Carolina. She
was a VP at the Leo Burnett Company in Chicago for 14 years, returning to her
native North Carolina to become a Divisional VP at Burlington Industries in
1994. After four years at Burlington, she spent seven years at Trone as SVP. In
2007, she began her own marketing and communications consulting company, The
Harris Partners.
Harris is
well-known in the Triad area for her recent work as Project Manager for the
Steven Tanger Performing Arts Center, a two-year initiative that involved input
from the entire Greensboro community. Her efforts included development, City
Council approval, and community support for the project.
“I was
pleased and delighted that we were able to attract such a wealth of candidates
for this position, with diverse backgrounds and impressive experience,” said Justice
Henry E. Frye, Chair of the Board of Directors.
“I have
known, and worked with, Ross for several years, and am very happy that we were
able to secure the services of someone as highly respected as she, and who
shares the energy and passion we have for IOPL’s mission,” added Frye. “I am
confident that she will be an asset to increasing the visibility of IOPL
throughout the state.”
IOPL began
in 1987, and it offers two annual Fellows classes and one Women in Office Program.
Participants exchange ideas in a politically, culturally, and philosophically
diverse climate, building relationships with current and future leaders with
whom they will interact throughout their careers."
