Howdy!

At the time of publishing this edition of Benefactor, the world is still navigating the unprecedented events of 2020. We are working diligently to reopen Mays Business School and return to in-person and hybrid classes this Fall, and we are simultaneously budgeting for the next two fiscal years in the midst of uncertainty with regard to the economy.

In an effort to utilize finances well, this magazine will likely find you digitally before it does on paper. This effort is to ensure timely communications while reducing expenses. Regardless of the format, we are still so pleased to update you on the many positive outcomes stemming from your investments in our faculty and students, as we continue implementing our strategic plan.

Money magazine recently ranked Mays Business School in the Top 10 nationally of all public business schools (#8). Part of the ranking is based on Former Students opening doors to current students. You are making a positive impact, and, candidly, we could not accomplish many of the things we are doing without you. As we continue to say, your investments are the margin of excellence. We are sincerely grateful for your impact on our school – however large or small it seems.

At Mays Business School, students not only learn how to be lifelong learners with the vision to advance the world’s prosperity, they also learn how to be good stewards of their resources, too. Mays faculty produce and publish impactful research that is providing thought leadership, and our faculty and staff deliver best-in-class teaching and learning, which is instrumental in developing the next generation of business leaders. This would not be possible without the gracious help of generous Benefactors. By investing in our vision and mission at Mays, you are making a difference while being role models to the next generation.

We would love for you to share your thoughts, comments, and feedback on this issue of Benefactor with #MaysBenefactor in your social media channel of choice. Please enjoy reading about the individuals represented in this publication who represent the values, beliefs, and impact of so many of you.

STRATEGIC PHILANTHROPY >

Kyle Gammenthaler ’11 learned many lessons about the importance of generosity throughout his time at Texas A&M. Now a lecturer at Mays Business School, Gammenthaler is a leader in encouraging Aggies to think and act more deeply about philanthropy, stewardship, and selfless service.

Gammenthaler’s appreciation for service deepened when he volunteered for the Special Olympics’ Fall Classic during his sophomore year at Texas A&M. What started as an obligation brought great joy to his life and created an unexpected career path. “I was looking at my life and hoping that there would be a connection between my work and the impact I would be able to make to the world,” he said.

After graduation, Gammenthaler joined the United Way of the Brazos Valley as a fundraiser and volunteer coordinator. That job gave him a deep respect for non-profit organizations. “I had this preconceived notion that the non-profit world was touchy-feely and all about the heart,” he said. “I didn’t realize that these organizations operated just like a business, addressing key issues and solving pressing problems. They’re not immune to the challenges other businesses have.”

Gammenthaler returned to Texas A&M in 2012 as a senior academic advisor at Mays and soon began developing the innovative Certificate in Non-Profit and Social Innovation. He also created partnerships with community non-profits and now serves as a board member for several, including his former employer, United Way of the Brazos Valley.

The father of three also brings a first-hand understanding of what it ’s like to be on the receiving end of generosity. His oldest son is five and has a rare neuromuscular disease that has taught their family about receiving as well as giving. Numerous examples of generosity have come from what he and his wife describe as their "different normal." These experiences make Gammenthaler a passionate leader in helping Mays identify deeper ways to have a societal impact. “I feel the responsibility to be keenly aware of the issues and opportunities in our community. That includes identifying and nurturing community partnerships and translating that engagement to our students,” he said. “We want to reach more organizations long-term, and that can happen as long as we have money to distribute through the Strategic Philanthropy course. We also want to find ways that aren’t necessarily in the traditional classroom environment to educate Mays students about generosity and how to live the Aggie Core Value of selfless service.” ◊

K-9 Mays has been diligently protecting the A&M campus and community since being donated to the University Police Department by Gammenthaler's Strategic Philanthropy course and K9s4COPS in 2019.

Perennially our world faces tremendous challenges such as poverty, homelessness, hunger, and the need for quality healthcare. And, most recently, we have been devastated by the impact of the worldwide pandemic. A multitude of non-profits want to step into the void and assist with these issues, but their services require the resources to make it happen. With all of these pressing needs, how do donors make the decisions on where to invest their time, talent, and treasure?

Mays Business School lecturer, Kyle Gammenthaler ’11, understands this challenge. “There are a lot of places to give, so there’s the potential for paralysis by analysis,” he said. “Donors need to find a balance between their head and the heart. The heart is so important because it is the barometer of an individual’s passion. I tell my students to make decisions that are reasonable, rational, and logical. But at the same time, find things that you are passionate about.”

Gammenthaler’s Strategic Philanthropy course helps students do just that by placing them in the donor’s driver’s seat. On the first day of class, students receive $10 with the simple task of “doing good.” Student responses vary widely, including making care packages for teen moms, buying a meal for a homeless person and listening to their life story, and challenging friends to give the same amount to create a fund to purchase sports equipment for a local youth league.

This initial investment decision sets the stage for their deep dive into strategic philanthropy and how non-profits receive and disperse resources. In the class, students critically evaluate applications from numerous Brazos Valley non-profits and award grants from a pool of money that ranges between $50,000 and $100,000 each semester. Two years later, students meet with the grant recipients to learn how the gifts were used and the impact they made on the community.

The Strategic Philanthropy course has made a substantial impact on area non-profits, awarding a total of $600,000 since 2016. These funds are provided by The Philanthropy Lab (a part of the Once Upon a Time Foundation), the George and Barbara Bush Foundation, the VanLoh Family, and Cheryl Mellenthin.

The real beneficiaries, however, are the students. “We’re developing and encouraging the next generation of givers,” Gammenthaler said. “There’s nothing bigger than being able to give your voice, ability, time, and money to a cause in which you truly believe in.” ◊

Strategic Philanthropy:Balancing the Head and the Heart of Giving

Working with youth at Pine Cove Summer Camp left an unforgettable impression on Matthew Webb ’21. Now the Mays Management student hopes to work for a non-profit that addresses youth issues after he graduates.

To inform those professional goals, the Flower Mound native is pursuing the Non-Profit and Social Innovation Certificate and recently took the Strategic Philanthropy course. “We learned to think critically about how non-profits are addressing an issue and whether they’re just treating the symptoms or focusing on the root cause,” he said, adding that these factors helped inform the class’s decisions on which grant applications to fund.

The class also opened Webb’s eyes to his own philanthropic responsibility. “You’re going to get a paycheck when you graduate. You’re going to be excited to spend it or save it, but how much of it are you going to give away?” he said. “The Strategic Philanthropy class gave me a framework to determine how and when to give back to my community.” ◊

Ashley Adair ’17 credits the Strategic Philanthropy course for informing her personal understanding of giving and solidifying her career path in non-profits. The class now serves as a template for her role as Friendswood ISD (FISD) Education Foundation’s executive director.

The FISD Education Foundation awards more than $230,000 in grants to FISD teachers who are designing innovative and engaging learning opportunities. Adair’s Strategic Philanthropy experience served as a model to restructure the foundation’s Mustang Association campaign. Now FISD students serve as decision-makers in allocating the campaign’s funds at their school. This restructuring led to the campaign’s recognition as the 2020 Texas Education Foundation Network’s Outstanding Achievement Award winner.

Gammenthaler’s class opened Adair’s eyes to funding challenges facing non-profits. “My greatest discovery was that philanthropic decisions often aren’t a matter of choosing between right and wrong,” she said. “They are a matter of choosing between right and right. For me, Strategic Philanthropy was so much more than just a class; it was a defining moment that continues to transform my life. ◊

MAYS TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERS >

TRISHA & L.C. "CHAZ" Neely ’62

The couple also builds relationships with the organizations’ leaders. “We get to know these people on a personal level and give because they are doing the right thing and are using the resources they receive wisely.”

The San Antonio couple appreciates when organizations utilize their gift to increase their programs' quality and enhance their visibility. For example, the Neely’s endowed two Mays Business School chairs in support of the Marketing Department and the Hagler Institute for Advanced Study. “Chairs bring some outstanding faculty members to Texas A&M who otherwise wouldn’t know about the university,” Neely said. “Oftentimes, these top professors decide to remain because they’ve learned that Bryan/College Station has a great quality of life and that Texas A&M is an amazing institution.”

The Neely’s generosity enables Mays to attract the best and brightest students and faculty, maximizing teaching, research, and student experiences at Mays Business School. ◊

Charles “Chaz” Neely ’62 understands the importance of applying leverage. During his successful career, the former CEO of San Antonio Steel Company (SASCO) focused on creating maximum value that helped his company grow into the largest wholesale distributor of cattle, ranch, range, game, and wildlife fencing in the United States.

Chaz and his wife, Trisha, have taken the same approach in creating maximum value with their philanthropy over the years. They make giving a priority, and they look for ways to leverage their gifts to help others. In addition to their financial generosity, they are generous about sharing their time, knowledge, and experiences – including Chaz serving on Mays Business School’s Dean’s Advisory Board.

The couple strives to make these decisions using both their head and their heart to support non-profit organizations that align with their values. “Sometimes when groups seek a donation, we find ourselves saying, ‘We don’t have a heart for that,’” Chaz said. “We also may not know enough about them – their values, their intent, or how they will use the money. We give to organizations that we know well and that share our core beliefs and values.”

between personality and work performance. Barrick actively mentors students at all levels of education—undergraduate, masters, and doctoral as part of his academic endeavors.

The current holder of the James R. Whatley Chair also plays an important leadership role in organizational excellence at Mays. At the end of Barrick’s term as department head in 2011, the Department of Management was rated as Texas A&M’s top-ranked department in terms of academic performance. The scholar then assumed the role of executive director of the Center for Human Resource Management (CHRM) from 2011-16. In that role, he helped the center expand, setting the stage for CHRM to become one of the top programs of its kind in the nation.

Throughout his storied career, Barrick has found that donors–whether corporate or individual–are looking for the best fit between what they want to achieve with their gift and what the university can provide. Creating an endowed chair offers a unique investment in Mays’ commitment to advancing the world’s prosperity. Grateful for this support, Barrick stated, “These chairs provide the funds to enable Mays faculty to do research that will influence and change the ways managers lead for decades to come.” ◊

Murray Barrick, Ph.D., an internationally recognized management scholar, joined Mays faculty in 2006 after he was awarded the Paul M. and Rosalie Robertson Chair in Business. Reflecting on over fifteen years at Mays, Barrick noted, “In the absence of these chairs, it would be pretty difficult to be competitive in recruiting world-class faculty to the university.”

Mays Business School’s investment in Barrick has paid off exponentially. In 2010, Barrick was named a University Distinguished Professor, recognizing his seminal contribution to, and global authority in, the field of management and his record of teaching and mentoring students. This university award emphasizes the significance of Barrick’s scholarship, particularly with respect to national and international on-going studies of relationships

LAURA C. Fulton ’85

The third-generation Aggie brings this mindset to her continued involvement with Mays Business School. She serves on the Dean’s Advisory Board and the Accounting Department Advisory Council. A regular guest speaker, Fulton also assists with mentoring and supporting students and offers counsel on the accounting department’s curriculum and strategies. She’s provided financial support over a number of years, including establishing the Laura C. Fulton ’85 Department of Accounting Excellence Endowment in 2017 as part of Mays’ campaign to name the James Benjamin Department of Accounting.

A member of Texas A&M Department of Accounting’s Hall of Honor, Fulton believes Mays is on the leading edge in preparing transformational leaders who will advance the world’s prosperity. “I realize that I’m a role model for women in business. I’ve done so many things in my career that I didn’t realize were possible. It was all because somebody believed in me,” she said. “If I can be that special person in someone else’s life, then I definitely want to spend my time and effort doing that.” ◊

Laura C. Fulton ’85 strives to help individuals reach their full potential. “What I’m passionate about, especially at work, is making a difference in people’s lives—getting them to believe that they have more potential, more possibility than they thought that they did,” she said.

The recently named vice-president of finance for the American Bureau of Shipping has enjoyed similar support from respected colleagues who helped her challenge her own expectations and reframe her aspirations throughout her career. Fulton, who started as an auditor at Deloitte & Touche, reached a career milestone when she assisted Hi-Crush Partners LP in becoming a publicly-traded company as the organization’s CFO. In 2019, “Oil & Gas Investor” magazine recognized Fulton as one of the “25 Most Influential Women in Energy.”

established a substantial endowment in support of the Department of Accounting in memory of his father, Ronnie Hale, Sr. The latter served as the first director of the Brazos Valley Boys and Girls Club before going into banking.

Like his father, Hale is committed to serving others, including his long-time association with Boys & Girls Country of Houston, Houston Museum of Natural Science, Houston Venture Capital Association, the Association for Corporate Growth, River Oaks Country Club, and as a current board member of the 12th Man Foundation.

Those in the Bryan/College Station area who have known Hale since childhood are proud of what he’s achieved. “I have been very impressed with his success in business and his service to society, particularly Texas A&M University,” Benjamin said. “He has clearly lived a life of distinction which reflects the core values of Texas A&M University.” ◊

tx.ag/Hale

Mays honors graduates who have led lives of distinction and who embody the Aggie Core Values with the Outstanding Alumni Award. Recipients come from all industries, have been active in their communities, and continue to serve their alma mater.

Randall B. Hale ’85 always wanted to own his own business. Growing up, he picked and sold dewberries door-to-door, had a newspaper route, mowed lawns, and worked a number of odd jobs.

Now, as founder and managing director of Rock Hill Capital Group, Hale supports the entrepreneurial economy by helping business owners realize their goals and reaching their full business potential. The private equity firm invests in small- to lower-middle market companies in a variety of industries.

Hale grew up in Bryan, minutes away from Texas A&M. His family’s friends included Dr. Jim Benjamin – namesake and head of the James Benjamin Department of Accounting at Mays Business School – who saw Hale progress from teenager to accounting student to seasoned professional. Initially impressed with Hale’s intensity and competitiveness, Benjamin watched as Hale, then a young professional, easily interacted with top leaders at his first employer, Arthur Andersen. “Most people his age wouldn’t be able to handle those types of interactions,” Benjamin said.

Now a well-respected member of Houston’s business community, Hale remains an integral part of Mays Business School. He regularly speaks with and actively recruits accounting students, including his son Alex who graduated from the PPA Program in 2018. Hale’s daughter, Hannah, is currently completing her second year in the veterinary medicine program after receiving her undergraduate degree from A&M. Hale also recently

Blake A. Pounds ’89 describes his life’s philosophy as being “a river, not a reservoir.” He finds great satisfaction and fulfillment in helping others.

The San Antonio native’s 30-year career with Accenture has helped him do just that. As a senior managing director, he leads a major international oil and gas client account globally on behalf of the leading professional services company. “I love a good challenge. I’m especially motivated by growing our business by making what’s impossible possible,” he said.

Additionally, Pounds serves as office managing director for the company’s 2,000-employee Houston office, regularly recognized as one of the Houston Chronicle’s Top Workplaces. In that role, he encourages employees’ active involvement in the local community and has served on a number of non-profit boards, including the United Way of Greater Houston.

The second-generation Aggie stays closely connected to Mays Business School. An A&M Legacy Society member and Fish Camp namesake, Pounds serves as the executive sponsor for Accenture’s involvement in Mays and oversees the company’s recruiting and annual fundraising efforts. He also encourages Accenture’s support of Mays Business Honors Program, Mays Business Fellows Program, and the Consulting Guild within Mays Horizon Program.

Pounds and his wife, Dawn, are personally invested in Mays. In one of their proudest moments, the couple endowed a scholarship honoring Pounds’ father, Herbert E. Pounds, Jr. ’65. Pounds also serves as a regular speaker in finance classes and at Mays Business Honors roundtables.

Pounds’ commitment to education has deep roots. He credits his mother and grandfather, both K-12 educators, for his love of education. “They always told me that everything in life could be taken away from you except your education.” Pounds is also proud that Mays teaches ethics, core values, and Texas A&M’s ‘other education,’ which are just as important as outstanding academics. “That’s why Mays graduates thrive at Accenture.” ◊

PARTNER OF THE YEAR 2020 >

Sewell Automotive, a group of 16 Texas dealerships, takes great pride in creating “Customers for Life.” The company carefully cultivates a culture marked by excellence, integrity, loyalty, leadership, respect, and selfless service–beliefs that are common with the Aggie Core Values.

That shared foundation has led Sewell to increasingly deepen the company’s involvement in Mays Business School over a 30-year period. “We’re fortunate to have built such a great partnership with Sewell Automotive,” said Eli Jones, Ph.D. ’82, Dean of Mays Business School. “They have been an integral part of our work over three decades through graciously sharing their resources. They also know the value that our students offer as employees, so they actively recruit from Mays. That’s why it is such a great honor to announce Sewell’s selection as Mays 2020 Partner of the Year.”

Our partnership began in 1990 when Leonard L. Berry, Ph.D. (University Distinguished Professor of Marketing), invited Carl Sewell – the company’s owner and a third-generation automotive dealer – to join the

COMMON Core Values

Sewell Automotive Recognized as2020 Partner of the Year

Marketing Council at Mays. “We began to understand more about the retail business and the value of Texas Aggies as individual people and associates,” Sewell said.

Now Sewell representatives are regular guest speakers in Mays classes, serve on advisory boards, and mentor numerous Aggies working on company internships. In 2015, Sewell also generously funded the Sewell Scholars Program that offers financial support and opportunities to outstanding Mays students interested in pursuing a sales career.

Throughout the 30-year partnership, Sewell Automotive has hired a total of 850 Aggies and currently employs 250 Texas A&M graduates. Approximately one in five of Sewell’s sales, finance, and service management associates and nearly one-third of the company’s store managers are Aggies.

“Aggies are real-world, and they don’t mind working,” the long-time owner said. “You want to keep coming back to Texas A&M because of the quality of the students, who are wonderful, hardworking, and honorable. They give you so much hope for the future. If the Aggies are in charge, the world is going to be a better place.” ◊

CENTER FOR Retailing Studies

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHT >

industry, building and maintaining relationships is critical,” Benedict said. “We want to be the hub that brings the retailing industry together.”

The third priority, encouraging research on retail, addresses the need to do studies that are meaningful in both academic and retail communities. “We want to leverage tremendously valuable faculty expertise to engage in research that is impactful not only from a scholarly standpoint but also with a real return on investment to the retail community,” Benedict said.

Benedict believes the role of retail has never been more critical. “A number of stories about retail companies emerged during the pandemic that highlighted the vital role that retail plays in getting food, prescription drugs, and other necessities to consumers in a very challenging environment,” Benedict said. “The retail market plays a key role in both business and society as a whole. It touches everyone’s life. We want to be at the forefront of the decisions that shape our retail economy worldwide through research, teaching, and lifelong learning.” ◊

Now more than ever, retailers must demonstrate great value in a challenging economic environment. Mays Center for Retailing Studies (CRS) is at the epicenter of this dynamic market.

Founded in 1983, CRS is expanding its reach under director Scott Benedict, who brings 35 years of experience working with top national retailers. “I inherited something very unique and special,” he said.

During his first six months, Benedict led a strategic planning process that identified three priorities: educating future retail industry leaders, developing stronger networks, and conducting research. CRS is now inviting corporate partners to assist with the activation of these priorities.

The educational priority involves enhancing CRS’s curriculum to include courses on cutting-edge topics, such as retail strategy and digital merchandising. The center will also explore different teaching modalities, including creating a “living” retail lab where Mays students can gain real-world, first-hand retailing experience.

Benedict believes that because of CRS’s annual Retailing Summit, the center is perfectly positioned to expand its outreach to industry leaders, the center’s second priority. “When you have such a dynamic
