ORLANDO, Fla. – Harvey L. Massey, CEO and founder of Orlando-based Massey Services, Inc., has been named chairman of the board of advisers for the Rollins College Center for Advanced Entrepreneurship. Massey was introduced as Advisory Board Chair at a reception held at the Cornell Fine Arts Museum on the Rollins College campus.
“It is an honor to have the founder of one of the top companies in Central Florida chair our Board of Advisors,” said Cari Coats, executive director at the Center for Advanced Entrepreneurship. “Mr. Massey is the essence of entrepreneurship, and we welcome both his experience and his vision to help guide the Center and our students to success.”
The board is composed of entrepreneurial business leaders, many of whom have been guest lecturers in Rollins MBA classes, have been panelists and speakers in seminars and workshops, and have judged the center’s venture plan competitions.
Massey, along with the other advisory board members, will help fulfill the mission of the Center for Advanced Entrepreneurship by mentoring Rollins MBA students as well as CEOs of second-stage businesses by advising and sharing growth strategies.
“This was a very easy decision for me,” Massey said. “I care deeply about education, business and entrepreneurial leadership. All of that comes together at the Center for Advanced Entrepreneurship. I’m honored to help in any way I can to develop future business leaders.”
