The Renaissance Commission (RenCom) is a blue-ribbon, volunteer panel of influential thought leaders and fundraisers that will help "future" Morehouse and raise $125 million during the Campaign for a Morehouse Renaissance, scheduled to culminate in 2017.
RenCom brings together a diverse cadre of more than 150 volunteers, comprised of current members of the College's advisory boards, as well as alumni, past College honorees, friends and supporters.
The Commissioners will engage in a historic effort to help Morehouse identify key cultural, economic and international influences that are likely to affect its success as an elite undergraduate liberal arts college, and to garner the financial resources the College will need to advance its mission into the 21st century.
The Renaissance Commission is headed by four national co-chairs whose primary responsibility is to lead the volunteer fundraising and thought leadership effort. The co-chairs are Muhtar Kent, chairman and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company; Ralph de la Vega, president and CEO of AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets; Dale E. Jones '82, vice chairman and partner of the CEO and Board Practice in the Americas, Heidrick and Struggles; and C. David Moody Jr. '78, president and CEO of C.D. Moody Construction Company, Inc.
The committee leadership of the volunteer fundraising effort will make up the remainder of the campaign leadership group. All members are asked to support this historic effort by making a gift to the College as part of their service on the Commission.
