Kornblau appointed to Board of Visitors

Gov. Timothy M. Kaine has appointed alumnus Barry Kornblau to a four-year term on the Old Dominion University Board of Visitors.

Kornblau, who served on the ODU board from 1997-99, succeeds Patricia Woolsey, whose second term expired June 30. He graduated in 1971 with a degree in political science.

Additionally, Gov. Kaine reappointed three current board members, including ODU alumnus David W. Faeder ’78, managing member of Fountain Square Properties, Sunrise Foundation. Also reappointed were Conrad M. Hall, president and chief executive officer of Dominion Enterprises, and Dr. Katherine A. Treherne, a private-practice dermatologist.

The chairman and CEO of Summit Realty Group Inc. in Richmond, Kornblau is the namesake of the university’s alumni center. Earlier this year, he donated $500,000 to help his alma mater reach its $8 million goal in support of adding football and expanding women’s sports. He has served on the university’s Intercollegiate Foundation and Educational Foundation boards.
