assisting NY companies and banks in financial restructurings, he formed his own company Buttrill & Associates, helping private companies with buy outs and acquisitions. In 2004, Buttrill began a new career in the not-for-profit world, serving as CEO of the Greater Rochester Chapter of the American Red Cross, and then its Regional CEO for the Finger Lakes Region before retiring last year. His community involvement is extensive, having served on numerous local boards including Boy Scouts, SeniorsFirst, ABVI Goodwill, and Pathway Houses, and the Meals on Wheels Advisory Council. Buttrill said he and his wife have always admired George Eastman and the institutions he created in Rochester, including EIOH. “And like most things Eastman started or supported, EIOH has done a lot of great work in our community and around the world,” Buttrill said. “I was excited to be offered the opportunity to join the board and help continue that great work through fundraising, strategic planning and any other way I can.”
