For Immediate Release
Chief Operating Officer of Pulaski Bank & Trust in Little Rock, Ark., (Washington, October 16, 2005) -- Today, Easter Seals elected Robert Magee, Sr., a longtime Little Rock resident and chief operating officer of Pulaski Bank & Trust, to Easter Seals National Board of Directors during its national convention currently being held in Washington, D.C. “Bob’s passion and personal commitment is invaluable,” said Lou Lowenkron, Chairman, Easter Seals National Board of Directors. “He makes such a difference to Easter Seals and people living with disabilities.” Magee's involvement with Easter Seals began in 1987, when his son, Bobby, was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and referred to Easter Seals Arkansas for service at nine months of age. When Bobby turned 18 in the fall of 2004, he moved into Wilson Court, an Easter Seals adult living apartment, continuing his ongoing involvement with a full range of services. A member of the affiliate's board since 1988, Magee has served as board chairman, treasurer and secretary; and chairman of the Finance, Nominating and Program Committees. Locally, he is currently board treasurer and a member of the Executive, Finance, Nominating, and Building Committees. At the national level, Magee has represented Easter Seals Arkansas as a member of Easter Seals National House of Delegates since 1989. First elected to Easter Seals National Board of Directors in 2002, Magee has served in many leadership and committee roles. In 2005, he resumes his position as chairman of the Audit Committee, vice chairman of the Fiscal Committee, a member of the Pension Committee and Pension Subcommittee, and an alternate delegate. A certified public accountant, Magee earned his B.A. in business administration from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, and ran a tax practice in the Little Rock office of Ernst & Ernst prior to joining Pulaski Bank & Trust. Magee is involved in several national and local professional organizations, including the Chamber of Commerce of Greater Little Rock and the Board of Trustees of the Episcopal Diocese of Arkansas. In 2004, he received the Arkansas Society of Certified Public Accountants Public Service Award. For 85 years, Easter Seals has been providing services that help children and adults with disabilities gain greater independence. Our primary services -- medical rehabilitation, job training and employment, child care, adult day centers, and camping and recreation -- benefit more than 1 million individuals with disabilities and their families each year through more than 550 centers nationwide.
