President enters 'Movember' challenge
Nov 6, 2013
Grand Valley President Thomas J. Haas has given up the razor during
November, or rather, "Movember."
Haas and four other West Michigan leaders have joined Blue
Cross/Blue Shield’s Executive Stache-Off. To honor November as Men’s
Health Awareness Month, the contestants are encouraged to grow mustaches.
Others in the Executive Stache-Off are
• Jeff Connolly, president of West Michigan Operations and
Managed Care for BCBSM
• Jeff Lambert, president and managing partner for Lambert
Edwards & Associates
• Brian Pangle, president and CEO of Clark Retirement Community
• Jerry Kooiman, assistant dean of external relations for the
MSU College of Human Medicine.

Voters will choose a winner based on photos posted to the website.
Haas said he wore a full beard 35 years ago, although now
admitted that when his mustache grows in, it will be white.
