Marilyn Swillinger Named Friends President

Lynn University’s Friends of the Conservatory of Music announces Marilyn Swillinger as its president for a two-year term.

As a former teacher, Marilyn left the education field for a career in sales and marketing, mentoring and managing thousands of consultants and managers in the United States and abroad.

Since arriving in Boca Raton 10 years ago, Marilyn has been actively involved in the community and the nonprofits that serve it.

As an advocate for the arts, education and cancer research, she has continuously demonstrated her strong work ethic, creative force and unstoppable determination.

She is a life member of the Greater Boca Raton Cancer Chapter of the Pap Corps, which raises funds for Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Miami, Miller School of Medicine. She was honored as its Woman of the Year in 2006; and became its president in 2010 for two years.

Additionally, she was nominated as a Woman of Style and Substance by the Symphony of the Americas Society in 2009; and is a member of the advisory board of the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing.

Over the years, Marilyn and her husband, Mark, have been avid supporters of Lynn University, including the Conservatory of Music and the Live at Lynn theatre program. They are major benefactors of the Keith C. and Elaine Johnson Wold Performing Arts Center on the Lynn campus. They also support the Boca Raton Regional Hospital, Boca Raton Museum of Art, Ft. Lauderdale Museum of Art and the Norton Museum of Art. 

The Friends of the Conservatory of Music is a volunteer organization formed to promote high quality performance education for exceptionally talented young musicians. This dedicated group provides financial support for annual and endowed scholarships through special events. For more information on the Friends of the Conservatory, call 561-237-7745.
