For development and strategic planning
The Lewis School has appointed a director of development and director of strategic planning as the school prepares for its new proposed campus.
Lisa Settle Callaway has been appointed director of development and Robert P. Martinez, who is project manager for The Lewis School’s proposed new campus, has been named the director of strategic planning by the school’s board of trustees and Marcia G. Lewis, the school’s director.
Both administrators are poised to work in collaboration for the school’s new green-building initiative and will spearhead planning and fundraising as Lewis undertakes a significant step in its evolution, according to a press release.
The Lewis School, located on Bayard Lane in Princeton, is developing plans for a new educational facility that is not only green in design, landscaping and technology, but as a physical functional plant, will itself become a transforming, green teaching tool, the release said.
The school, which is described on its Web site as “a small non-profit school for students with learning differences,” will enhance its traditional curricular focus on arts-integrated, multi-sensory education to reflect a strong focus in environmental stewardship and conscientious sustainable green living.
Mrs. Callaway holds a bachelor’s degree in history from the University of Virginia and a master’s degree in business administration from Rutgers University. She is a member of the Princeton Arts Council’s Board of Trustees and has been involved with its Capital Campaign to fund the new arts center.
Most recently, Mrs. Callaway was a client partner in Korn/Ferry International, a global executive-search firm. In this position, she was responsible for administrating top-tier recruiting projects for senior-level executives of major companies across the country and abroad.
In her new capacity, Mrs. Callaway will be responsible for designing and executing the development strategy that will make the building of a new campus for lower- and middle-school students possible. This state-of-the-art facility is designed to be a certified green building whose energy and mechanical systems, and water and biological conservation practices will serve as a transforming, green teaching tool for Lewis School students, faculty, parents and community members, according to the release.
Mr. Martinez, project manager for The Lewis School’s proposed new campus and green-building initiative, joins the Lewis team as director of strategic planning. He is an early advocate of state issues relating to energy conservation and the complexities of eco-sustainability. He earned his bachelor’s degree in philosophy cum laude from Boston College and holds the degree of doctor of jurisprudence from New York University’s School of Law.
Mr. Martinez served as assistant attorney general and the director of the Division of Civil Rights for the State of New Jersey, and was a member of New Jersey’s Public Broadcasting Corp. He has worked in public and private-sector labor law, and is an adjunct lecturer in the graduate schools of Cornell, Rutgers, Seton Hall and Princeton universities.
Mr. Martinez serves as general counsel to the Princeton Public Library.
