(KAIR)--An Atchison native turned San Antonio Shoemakers CEO will serve as the commencement speaker for Maur Hill-Mount Academy- graduating class of 2023.
That's according to a release issued by Maur Hill-Mount Academy President, Phil Baniewicz, which says Nancy Richardson, CEO of the footwear manufacturer for the past 12-years, is also an attorney, a CPA, and a 1977 alum of what is now Atchison's Maur Hill-Mount Academy. In 2021, the release notes, Richardson “was honored as one of the most influential women of the mid-market by CEO Connections, a networking organization to help mid-market (revenue between $100 million and $3 billion) CEOs with resources and solutions to succeed. The company also received an award in their home city as being one of the top family-owned businesses.”
Richardson will speak during Maur Hill-Mount Academy- Commencement planned for 10:45 Saturday morning in the school's Haverty Gymnasium. That will be preceded by the Baccalaureate Mass at 9:00 that morning at the Mount Saint Scholastica Chapel.
Baniewicz, in the release, calls Richardson “an excellent role model for [Maur Hill-Mount Academy's] students,” citing her leadership and team focus, while adding that the school is “very happy to have her back on campus to hear advice and goals” from Richardson.
