PORTLAND & ELLSWORTH--The Maine Community Foundation has elected Mark Howard of Boothbay and New York City to the Board of Directors.

For nearly 10 years, Howard has been a managing director and senior multi-asset specialist at BNP Paribas. Previously, he spent five years at Barclays Capital as a managing director. Prior to joining Barclays in April 2004, he was at Lehman Brothers for 18 years serving as managing director and global credit strategist. Howard has served on MaineCF’s Investment Committee for the past three years.
 
Howard received an MBA in finance from New York University and a B.A. in economics from Colby College. He serves on the board of University College London’s Friends and Alumni Association Board and is a director and past president of the New York-based Fixed Income Analysts Society.
