South Bend Alumni Association (SBAA) board chairman Tim Baker announced that former South Bend Mayor Stephen Luecke has been named executive director of the 
organization. He will begin on June 10.
“We’re excited to have a person of Steve’s caliber to lead our organization as we continue to develop and grow,’’ Baker said.
Luecke was the longest-serving mayor in the history of South Bend, holding the office for 15 years until 2011. Prior to holding this office he served on the South Bend Common Council for nine years.
“I am honored to have been selected for this position and eager to join the South Bend Alumni Association team,” Luecke said. “The SBAA has a valued history of supporting our students and our schools. More importantly, they have a clear vision to expand these outstanding services. I look forward to working with graduates and with school and community officials to advance the SBAA mission.”
