John Lippincott has announced that he will retire from the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) next January after 11 years as president. “John has been a transformative leader and is beloved by the advancement community,” said SimpsonScarborough CEO Elizabeth Scarborough. “I know he hopes to slip into retirement quietly, but his contributions and accomplishments deserve to be recognized and celebrated.”
Among those accomplishments: during his tenure, CASE has increased institutional membership 20% (with members in more than 80 countries), strengthened advocacy efforts, expanded its research activities and resources and quadrupled its net assets. The longest-serving president in CASE history, Lippincott joined the organization in 1999 as vice president for communications and marketing and was named president in 2004. Prior to joining CASE, he served as vice chancellor for advancement at the University System of Maryland for 12 years.
