CLEVELAND -- A picture of Darlyne Bailey, dean of the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences, is on the cover of Northern Ohio Live magazine's November issue, which recognizes the Case Western Reserve University dean and 12 other local women as "rainmakers" for their ability to "bring in the bucks."
The 13 rainmakers represent various business categories, such as banking, retail, and manufacturing, plus social services and health care. Bailey was selected as a rainmaker in education -- a new category this year.
"Northern Ohio's top female educators administer, teach and mentor daily, but they can't drive their visions without the dollars," writes Northern Ohio Live publisher Gail Kerzner in introducing this year's rainmakers. "So they create partnerships to provide the funding needed for expansion and endowment."
In describing Bailey's "extraordinary strides in increasing MSASS's endowment and research funding," Kerzner cites these accomplishments -- the Harris Chair in the Center on Urban Poverty and Social Change, the Grace Brody Institute for Parent-Child Studies, the Verna Houck Motto Professorship in Families and Communities, the Begun Center for Anti-Violence Research and Education, and the Begun Professorship.
The rainmakers were honored at a November 8 "power breakfast" at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. The event's proceeds help fund a Rainmaker Scholarship for a promising female M.B.A. student at the Weatherhead School of Management. This year's scholarship recipient and "Rainmaker of Tomorrow" is Jacqueline Sanders, a 27-year-old Clevelander.
