Ryan George Sietsema Eva Sonneville Fred L. Tape Hylda & Alvin Tuuk John E. VanFossen In Memoriam — Donald W. Maine With great sadness, we said farewell to Don Maine in February 2018. A member of the Van Andel Education Institute Board of Trustees and chair of the Finance and Compensation committees for more than 11 years, Don was a devoted friend and an enthusiastic champion of the Institute from our beginning. Don was a fixture on the educational scene in West Michigan. He was fascinated with entrepreneurial thinking, and his vision guided Davenport University from a small college to a fully accredited university. As the former president and chancellor, he was beloved at Davenport and throughout our community. A mentor to many, Don made people feel special in everything he did. He gave freely of his time and expertise, serving on multiple boards and receiving numerous accolades along the way. Don was a great friend personally and of the Institute. He will be missed dearly. - David Van Andel VAN ANDEL INSTITUTE ANNUAL REPORT 2017 | 39
