The Board of Governors of the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum has welcomed three members to its governing body and approved its officers for 2018–2019.
Joining as new governors are Charles E. (Ned) Hennighausen and Scott R. Pastrick, with former governor Richard J. Bodorff returning to the Board. The newly elected officers are Diane Staley, chair; Frank C. Marshall, vice chair; Richard J. Johnson, treasurer; and Richard W. Snowdon, secretary. Retiring from the Board are Schuyler Benson, William S. Dudley, James P. Harris, and Francis Hopkinson, Jr.
Returning board member Richard Bodorff is a partner with Wiley Rein LLP in Washington, D.C. He received a BA, cum laude, in English literature from Denison University, and a JD from Vanderbilt University School of Law.
Bodorff is chief volunteer officer of the YMCA of the Chesapeake, an emeritus trustee of the Academy Art Museum, and a trustee of the Broadcasters Foundation of America in New York. He previously served as chairman of the boards of Commonwealth Public Broadcasting Corporation in Richmond, Va., and the Academy Art Museum in Easton, Md. He has also served on the boards of Denison University, America’s Public Television Stations, and Pickering Creek Audubon Center.
He and his wife, Ellen, cruise the Chesapeake on a Sabre 38, following nearly three decades as sailors. He is the immediate past commodore of the Poplar Islands Yacht Club.
New governor Ned Hennighausen was born in Baltimore, where his father’s family had resided since the 1850s, though his Eastern Shore roots trace back six generations. His family members still own the Centreville farm where his mother was raised, and as a young boy, Hennighausen spent weekends and summers aboard the family sailboat, which was moored in Worton Creek.
For more than 40 years, Hennighausen held senior and executive operations management positions in high speed consumer products manufacturing. His professional life took him to numerous locations across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico. He was employed by Campbell Soup Company, ConAgra Foods, and Lorillard, Inc.
Since moving to the Eastern Shore, Hennighausen has become involved with CBMM’s Rising Tide program as a volunteer. He lives in Oxford with his wife of 35 years, Joan, and their eight-month old chocolate Lab, Molly. He and Joan cruise the Chesapeake in a Hinckley T48.
Scott Pastrick is president and chief executive officer of Prime Policy Group. He began his work in Washington with the Carter Administration as the special assistant to the Assistant Secretary in the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Legislative Affairs. Following his position in the administration, he went on to serve as staff director in the U.S. House of Representatives. In 1984, he served as the deputy finance director for Vice President Walter Mondale’s campaign for president and senior adviser to Vice President Biden during his bid for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Throughout Pastrick’s career he has served at the Democratic National Committee. In 1994, he was appointed to the National Finance Committee and the Site Selection Committee. In 1995, he was elected treasurer of the Democratic National Committee and an officer of the Executive Committee, which he served through the successful re-election of President Clinton. Pastrick served as a senior advisor to both the 1992 and 1996 presidential campaigns of Bill Clinton and, in 1992, headed the congressional’ outreach effort for then Governor Clinton.
Pastrick serves as the chairman of the Board of Catholic Charities, Gonzaga College High School and the Kennedy Center’s Fortes Trust. He is also a member of the board of the International Foundation for Election Systems and the Monumental Scholars Foundation, and previously served on the Board of Advisors of the Winston Churchill Library and the University of Maryland School of Public Policy.
A native of Indiana, Pastrick was awarded the Sagamore of the Wabash Award by the governor for distinguished service, counsel, and leadership. He holds a bachelor’s degree from Wabash College in political science and completed graduate work in political science at the George Washington University and the Indiana University School of Law. He resides in Chevy Chase, Md., with his wife, Courtney Clark Pastrick. They have five children— Carter and her husband, Bryan; Cameron and her husband, Jake; and Clark— and two grandchildren, Winnie and Nell.
Established in 1965, the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum is a world-class maritime museum dedicated to preserving and exploring the history, environment and people of the entire Chesapeake Bay, with the values of relevancy, authenticity, and stewardship guiding its mission. Serving nearly 80,000 guests each year, CBMM’s campus includes a floating fleet of historic boats and 12 exhibition buildings, situated along the Miles River and St. Michaels’ harbor.
