TALLAHASSEE, FL – The Florida A&M University Foundation
has elected John Crossman, CCIM,
CRX, president of Crossman & Company, to its 2015 board of directors. Crossman joins an esteemed board of 31 business
leaders from across the United States.
“John possesses such great passion for universities,” said Thomas J. Haynes, Jr., Ph.D., executive
director of FAMU Foundation, Inc.
“From fundraising to
mentoring and hiring students and everywhere in between, he is the type of
person and professional every university board would want advocating for
them.
“We also worked very closely with John and his team when we
were looking to open a law school campus in the heart of downtown Orlando over
10 years ago. They led us in the right
direction for both placement and exposure.”
Crossman takes that passion on the road with him as he
visits nearly a dozen universities annually to share his knowledge and
experience in the commercial real estate industry.

opportunities and resources to who will be our future employees, which will
further help them on the road to success.
