A former managing partner of the PricewaterhouseCoopers Washington, D.C., metro region office and a Houston-based attorney have been elected to serve on the board of trustees for the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation.
Joseph Christopher “Chris” Simmons, the managing partner, and Y. Ping Sun, the attorney, replace outgoing Senior Trustees Antoinette Cook Bush and Pamela P. Flaherty, whose terms ended in 2014.
“Chris and Ping each brings an exceptional record of achievement, service and leadership to the Foundation, and their perspectives are critical as we re-imagine and re-invent how we tell the story of America’s founding to new audiences here and around the world,” said Mitchell B. Reiss, a board member and the president and CEO of the foundation.
Simmons began working for PricewaterhouseCoopers in 1992, where he has held several roles.
He is currently a board member and chairman of the Executive Leadership Council, and he serves on the advisory board of the Association of Latino Professionals.
Sun has worked as an attorney for more than 20 years. She is currently the chairwoman of the Houston Mayor’s International Trade and Development Council’s Asia and Australia Subcouncil and honorary co-chair of Rice’s Baker Institute Roundtable.
