LaMarr Billups has had a great ride in Madison, but he’s on his way to Washington, D.C., to a post at another major university.
Billups, 54, has been the UW-Madison’s director of community relations for 11 years and has served as a special assistant to two chancellors. In mid-May, he will become vice president for business policy planning at Georgetown University, providing leadership on a variety of labor-related issues.
He is well known locally as the university’s representative on city and county committees and as a board member of several prominent organizations.
