Buford Appointed to Drucker Institute Board

Bob Buford, chairman of the board for The Buford Foundation/Leadership Network, has been appointed chairman of the Board of Advisors of the Drucker Institute--named for his long-time friend and business management guru Peter F. Drucker.

"I am delighted that Bob Buford has agreed to be the chairman of the Drucker Institute's Board of Advisors," said Doris Drucker, who has known Mr. Buford for more than 25 years. "I am convinced that Bob will guide our board to make decisions which, in Peter's spirit, will lead to the establishment of a civil society in which both for-profit and non-profit organizations find their right place in our environment."

The Institute is a campus-wide resource of Claremont Graduate University and is closely aligned with the Peter F. Drucker and Masatoshi Ito Graduate School of Management, where Peter Drucker taught for 35 years and which continues to produce effective managers and ethical leaders for business, government and civil society.

"For the last 20 years of his life, it was my privilege to visit face to face several times a year with Peter Drucker," Buford said. "Peter was the man I most admired on this earth. More than anyone else, Peter understood the times he lived in. There's only one like him every century or so."
