Fred Rehmus Awarded Gold Spike for Volunteer Efforts
This magazine's prolific and longstanding contributor, Class Secretary Fred Rehmus, MBA '61, was recently honored by Stanford Associates, an honorary organization of the university alumni association, with its highest award for volunteer leadership, the Gold Spike.
Besides keeping track of his classmates for Stanford Business magazine for 50 years, Rehmus has been an avid volunteer and fundraiser. Rehmus and his wife, Marcia, funded the Rehmus Family Gallery of Native American Art at the Cantor Arts Center and endowed the Rehmus Family Presidential Professorship in the Humanities. In 1986, he and two classmates cofounded the business school's forward-looking Renewal Fellowship, which encouraged recipients to renew the fund as they were able.
Rehmus is a founding principal of Brownson, Rehmus & Foxworth, a national family wealth management firm and, according to a plaque he received from classmates at his 45th business school reunion, "the glue that has held our class together over the years."
