Hotel to host lecture on philanthropy
Princess hotel next Tuesday.
Mr. Robert L. Payton, director of the Centre on Philanthropy at Indiana University, will address the "inter-action of not-for-profit agencies, business and government in society.'' He is the third speaker in a lecture series started last July by the Bermuda Committee on Philanthropy.
Miss Nancy Smythe, secretary of the committee, said Mr. Payton would shed light on the importance of volunteerism, "particularly when you have the breakdown of the family unit.'' Before he took his present job, Mr. Payton was for 10 years president of the Exxon Education Foundation, which had an annual charitable budget of $31 million.
Before that, he was president of CW Post College and Hofstra University, both in New York, and served as US Ambassador to the Republic of Cameroon from 1967 to 1969.
He has written extensively on philanthropy and education, including the book "Philanthropy: Voluntary Action for the Public Good.'' The lecture, which is to include a question and answer period, starts at 5.30 p.m. in the Princess Victoria Room.
