The University of Virginia's Darden Graduate School of Business Administration is appointing six new trustees to the Darden School Foundation, who will provide expertise on Silicon Valley, the international marketplace and high technology in business.

The Charlottesville, Va. School opened a Northern Virginia office last July in Reston Town Center to offer research and management education programs for area executives.

The new trustees, E. Thayer Bigelow, Jesse V. Crews, Gary T. Jones, Chew-Mee F. Kirtland, John Powell, and Mark Templeton all will serve three-year terms.

Bigelow is a private investor and chairman of the Campaign for Darden. Before he retired from Time Warner, Inc. in 1999, he had held a number of positions there since 1967, including CEO of Court TV, president and CEO of Time Warner Cable Programming Inc., and president of the Home Box Office. He is a director of Lord Abbett & Co. Mutual Funds, the Crane Company, the Huttig Building Company and the Medusa Corporation.

Crews is president and CEO of GATX Capital Corporation in San Francisco. The firm is a diversified global financial services company that provides financing for transportation, industrial and high-technology assets, with an original cost of approximately $10 billion.

Jones is managing director for international sales for Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, an integrated investment and merchant bank serving institutional, corporate, government and individual clients.

Kirtland is managing director of Mornington Service Private Limited in Singapore, where she provides asset management services to high-net-worth families.
