Dr. H. Ray Sylvester is the Associate Dean and a professor of marketing at the University of the Pacific's Eberhardt School of Business. At Phi Kappa Phi's 2010 Convention, he was elected to serve as the Vice President for Marketing and Member Benefits.

-------------------

“We need to find ways to keep chapters strong while maintaining the interest and allegiance of our many members who move outside the range of these chapters,” Sylvester said of a key challenge the Society faces in the area of marketing and member benefits.

-------------------

Sylvester teaches marketing research and consumer behavior courses, and his research interests focus on applications of marketing in the public sector and in the health care field. He earned a Ph.D. in marketing and an M.B.A. from The University of Michigan and a B.A. in economics from Gettysburg College.

As Vice President for Marketing and Member Benefits, Sylvester will serve for two years on the Society’s national board of directors, providing expertise in the areas of marketing and public relations, chairing the Marketing and Member Benefits Committee and serving as a member of the Finance and Budget Committee. Inducted into Phi Kappa Phi in 2000, Sylvester had been serving as Western Region Vice President since 2007.
