1978
This
summer will mark Lee Selander's 27th year with Northern Trust. He is EVP in charge
of risk management and banking services, responsible for a
variety of business lines and support services for institutional
banking and trust services. Lee is currently in London to
help integrate an acquisition and to structure Northern Trust's
risk management and regulatory compliance organization. Lee
is single, lives in Naperville, Ill., and has two grown children,
both interested in advertising and marketing.
Michael
Lehman continues to manage
customer service operations for M&T Bank in Buffalo. The
bank survived a major merger with Allfirst Financial in 2003
and had a good year in 2004. Michael and Joan enjoy living
in western New York, where he reports the housing is cheap
and the commutes are short ... and two or three months of pleasant
summer weather almost make up for five months of winter shoveling.
He sends his best wishes to the Class of 1978.
Phyllis
Azriel credits her Kellogg colleagues with fostering a lifelong
love of team learning. She recently had the chance to reconnect
at the Kellogg Alumni Club of Chicago's book club and reports
she is looking forward to future meetings. After spending
15 years in management and sales, much of it in Southern California,
she returned to the Chicago area. She began a mid-life career
change by attending the competitor institution across the
Midway and enjoyed working for several years as a psychotherapist.
Over the last several years Phyllis has combined her psychology
and business skills in the healthcare and insurance industries.
She is currently affiliated with Sedgwick CMS, where she helps
clients better manage their absenteeism and reduce disability
costs. She loves to travel and visited Beijing in 2004. Back
in Chicago, life in the city affords Phyllis opportunities
to enjoy theater, live music, local architecture and, as always,
hanging out with friends and family. She also enjoys coaching
executives and other professionals. Phyllis would love to
hear from Kellogg colleagues at pazriel@sbcglobal.net.
