About
Us
Hope Green and Bob Arns are committed to helping clients succeed in a very
rapidly changing environment. Both
of them have led their organizations to real success in their individual fields
of public broadcasting and higher education, and both of them have raised
significant funds for their endeavors. They
specialize in working with clients who face new and difficult challenges and
need to find unusual solutions.
Hope Green served as president of Vermont Public Television from 1980
until 1998. During that time, the
station’s membership support quadrupled; the operating budget tripled with no
net increase in staffing; all transmission and broadcast systems were renewed
and automated; major ongoing production funding was secured; and the station
converted from a university to a community licensee.
Hope was elected three times to the PBS board and twice to the APTS board.
Before moving to Vermont, she won several PBS development awards as
development director at KCTS, served on the PBS Development Advisory Committee,
chaired the PBS Development Conference, and served in various capacities at WGBH.
Hope has a degree from Bryn Mawr College, and has studied advanced
management development at both Harvard Business School and Stanford Business
School.
Bob Arns, a founding member of the Strategic Management Society, served
for eight years as provost of the University of Vermont, responsible for all
academic programs and budgetary matters for that $250-million-dollar business.
During that time, the University’s financial performance improved from
a series of annual deficits to annual unrestricted fund balances of $4 - $5
million; annual giving doubled; the endowment tripled; faculty salaries
increased at a rate 8.5% greater than the average rate at U.S. institutions of
higher education; enrollment demand increased to 8 applicants for each place in
the freshman class; and annual equipment expenditures tripled.
Bob’s other relevant credentials include dean of the College of
Engineering and Mathematics at Vermont, professor of physics at Vermont,
associate provost and professor of physics at Ohio State University, and
accreditation team chair for the educational programs of Arthur D. Little, Inc.,
Massachusetts General Hospital, and the Naval War College.
He serves on the Executive Committee of the History of Science Forum of
the American Physical Society.
At Ohio State, Bob was closely engaged with WOSU, and at the University of
Vermont, with Vermont ETV. Bob has
published extensively in physics, in the history of science and technology, and
in management. He has a Ph.D. in
physics from the University of Michigan.
