Bloomfield's Maria Duey Joins Academy of the Sacred Heart Board

The Academy of the Sacred Heart has two new board members.

Maria Duey, of Bloomfield Hills, and Erin Reynolds, of Farmigton Hills, were recently named to the Board of Trustees, which has 22 members that oversee the school and all its activities.

Duey is vice president of Investor Relations and Communications for Masco Corporation. She was appointed Vice President of Investor Relations in 2005 and assumed responsibility for Corporate Communications in 2008. She also serves on Masco’s strategic planning team.

"It is an honor to be elected to the board of trustees," the Michigan State University graduate recently told Bloomfield-Bloomfield Hills Patch in an email. "When I considered ways to give back to the school, my professional experience seemed a natural fit with the Board of Trustees position."

Duey, who also serves on the Board of Directors for the Detroit Institute of Arts,
said she hopes to add to the school’s mission of enabling students to live lives of faith, intellectual excellence, responsibility to self and community and personal integrity. 

"As a trustee, as well as a parent of a Sacred Heart student, I look forward to assisting in the positive development of all those involved with this great institution," she added.
Reynolds, incoming president of the school’s alumni association, is director of people analytics for Quicken Loans. She said she hopes to help Sacred Heart  continue to provide an exceptional educational experience for both young women and men.

"School's not just about the classwork; it's the entire experience," she told Patch. "Sacred Heart offers unique opportunities, such as Project Term or ongoing community service built into the school day, that you can't find elsewhere."

Both will be essential contributors to the voluntary board, that sets policy and focuses on fiduciary responsibility, said Sister Bridget Bearss, Head of School.

“I look forward to their continued involvement in strategic planning and outreach, and know they will make a difference in our community for years to come," she said.
