Maureen Flores became vice president for university advancement on July 1, 2017. She oversees all fundraising, alumni engagement, advancement communications, sponsored and grant-seeking programs, the Center for Career Services and the Center for Women and Business. Flores develops philanthropic relationships and delivers a wide variety of engagement programs for alumni, parents and friends. 

Flores joined Bentley in January 2014 to manage fundraising and operations. Named associate vice president for university advancement shortly thereafter, she streamlined operations and built a new team of fundraising staff, all with deep experience in securing significant support from donors. During this period, Bentley has expanded its alumni engagement efforts and increased fundraising at all levels. 

“I am honored to work with an outstanding president and Board of Trustees,” says Flores. “Thanks to their leadership, Bentley has built a culture of philanthropy, increased its supporters and engaged more alumni through meaningful programs. I am delighted to lead a team of advancement professionals to secure much-deserved support for Bentley.” 

Prior to Bentley, Flores had a successful career in fundraising management, leading advancement at Landmark School; working at Fordham University, Harvard University and the University of Cincinnati; and heading the Good Samaritan Hospital Foundation in Cincinnati. She earned an undergraduate degree in English from the Honors Program at Fordham University. 

“Maureen is the real deal,” said President Gloria Larson. “We traveled the country together last year for the centennial, meeting alumni and friends, and I watched her serve as one of our greatest ambassadors. She understands the heart and soul of Bentley. I am thrilled to have Maureen in this vital role, leading the University Advancement Division into the capital campaign for Bentley’s future.”
