About Us

USM Professor Jeffrey Gramlich was appointed the first L.L. Bean/Lee Surace Chair in Accounting in the USM School of Business in 2003. His appointment was made possible by a $1 million gift from L.L. Bean, Inc., its board chair, Leon Gorman, his wife Lisa, Jim and Maureen Gorman, and Tom Gorman, who established the chair in memory of L.L. Bean CFO Lee Surace ’73, ’81, who died in March of 2001. Surace was chair of the USM School of Business’s Advisory Council and was a frequent guest lecturer.

The purpose of the Series is to serve the business community and to stimulate interest among USM faculty and students in significant business issues. The Colloquium Series is open to individuals, businesses, and corporations throughout the State of Maine.
