Wesley C. Bates ’70, president and CEO of Stanley Steemer International Inc.; Alicia Sweet Hupp ’82, president and CEO of Sweet Manufacturing Company; John P. McDaniel ’64, chairman and CEO of Medstar Health Foundation; Sarah Hagen McWilliams ’88, co-owner/operator of The Inn at Gristmill Square; and William D. Adams, Colby College president, each were recently elected to a three-year term on the university’s board.

Bates helped transform his family’s company, Stanley Steemer, founded by his father, into one of America’s leading providers of carpet cleaning services with 54 corporate locations and 235 franchises.

Hupp entered her father’s Springf ieldbased business, which produces agricultural and industrial materia l handling and conveying equipment and structural support systems, shortly after her graduation. She quickly worked her way up from advertising coordinator to president and CEO in 1997.

As founding CEO of Medstar Health, a $3.5 billion non-profit community-based healthcare organization consisting of a network of eight hospitals and 20 other
healthcare providers, McDaniel developed Medstar into the third largest employer in the Baltimore-Washington area with 23,000 employees and 4,600 affiliated physicians.

As co-owner and operator with husband Bruce of The Inn at Gristmill Square in Warm Springs, Va., McWilliams has ensured that guests find a “peaceful escape” in the Allegheny Mountains. Prior to moving to Virginia, McWilliams worked as a social worker and later earned her master’s in clinical social work from Case Western Reserve University.

As president of Colby College and the former president of Bucknell University, Adams has been a longtime leader and advocate of liberal arts education.
