Advisory Committee Member, Carol Ann & Ralph V. Haile, Jr. Foundation
After a 28-year career in Human Resources on both the corporate and consulting sides, Leslie joined the Haile Foundation at its inception in 2007, first as a Board Member and then as staff to oversee its educational investments. Recognizing that education is a key driver of economic growth, community vibrancy, and individual success, as SVP/Education Program Manager, she convened, connected, and catalyzed efforts to drive systemic change across the educational ecosystem in supporting disadvantaged children in the region’s urban core along the cradle to career continuum. Her more recent investments reflected a greater emphasis on early learning initiatives – from birth through third grade – to ensure every child has an equitable start on his or her lifelong journey to success.
Leslie and her husband, Tim, who led the Haile/U.S. Bank Foundation, recently retired as staff from the Foundation but remain on the Advisory Committee. They reside in East Walnut Hills and have two sons currently residing in Cincinnati and Denver.
