Foundation Elects New Board Member, Three Lifetime Honorary Trustees

The MCV Foundation elected one new trustee and recognized the outstanding dedication and service of three former board members during its annual meeting this summer. 

Jennifer Wold is the new trustee. Wold is managing partner of Forvis Mazars’ Virginia practice unit, where she is responsible for the operations and support of more than 75 partners, client service staff and administrative personnel who serve thousands of businesses and individual clients.  

“We’re thankful for Jennifer’s willingness to share her expertise with our board during her service as a trustee,” said Margaret Ann Bollmeier, president and CEO of the MCV Foundation. “She brings incredibly valuable experience for ensuring the foundation’s continued excellence in financial management.” 

A certified public accountant, Wold has 30 years of audit and accounting experience including assisting companies with issues related to mergers and acquisitions, purchase accounting and related valuations, fair value accounting and impairment issues. 

Lifetime Honorary Trustees 

“Charlie Bryan, Charles Crone and Jim Starkey have made a tremendous impact on the MCV Campus and on the wider community in Richmond and Williamsburg,” Bollmeier said. “By sharing their passion and dedication with us, they have demonstrated a lifetime of commitment to the foundation’s mission to inspire and steward philanthropy at VCU Health.” 

Lifetime honorary trustees are named to recognize the significant contributions of former board members to the MCV Foundation and MCV Campus. Former members are eligible for this honor one year after their service concludes. 

CHARLES F. BRYAN JR., PH.D. 

Charlie Bryan joined the MCV Foundation board in 2011 and was instrumental in raising $5 million — which was matched with another $5 million from the VCU School of Medicine — to establish the VCU Parkinson’s and Movement Disorders Center in 2011. 

His efforts served as a catalyst for changing the landscape of neurological care and research at VCU Health, including the recruitment in recent years of more than 30 prominent neurology faculty members from around the country. 

Dr. Bryan was also involved in making connections between the foundation and the Virginia Museum of History & Culture, which led to the creation of the Health in History lecture series. 

In 2023, he was honored with the Michael B. Dowdy Award. 

CHARLES F. CRONE 

Charles Crone began his time as an MCV Foundation trustee since 1993 and served Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center for nearly as long as an advisory board member in several leadership roles. Crone, a cancer survivor, and his wife, Ginny, created a 5K run in Williamsburg that has raised more than $300,000 over three decades to benefit Massey. Crone is also a founding member of the Massey Club, an annual donor society that celebrated 30 years in 2022. 

He conceived and helped launch the MCV Foundation Discovery Series in Williamsburg in 2013, eliciting a new cohort of friends, partners and donors and making it among the most impactful initiatives in recent years.  

In 2023, Crone was honored with the Dr. Eugene P. Trani Award. 

JAMES H. STARKEY III 

Jim Starkey joined the MCV Foundation board in 2005. His dedication to overseeing and nurturing the foundation’s relationship with its endowment investment firm over the years was paramount. He served on the Finance & Audit Committee, was vice chair of the board for six years and chaired the Investment Committee for a decade.  

Starkey remains active as a member of the Discovery Series RVA Host Committee, which helps to plan the foundation’s popular outreach program that raises awareness of the outstanding medical research, care and education happening on the MCV Campus.
