JoAnn Price, recently named by Dow Jones as a “Woman to Watch” in the limited partner community, will give the keynote address at the 41st Anniversary Awards Gala of the Greater New England Minority Supplier Development Council (GNEMSDC). The event takes place on March 24, 2016 at the Aqua Turf Club in Plantsville, Connecticut. For details go to GALA.GNEMSDC.ORG.

In 1994, Price, along with her partner, Dr. Laurence C. Morse, founded Fairview Capital Partners, a private equity investment management firm. First headquartered in Farmington, CT, Fairview is now in West Hartford, CT and in its 21st year of operations.

Fairview, one of the country’s leading funds of funds for institutional investors, manages close to $4 billion in private equity assets and invests in the full spectrum of private markets.

JoAnn H. Price was born and raised in North Wales, Pennsylvania. She graduated from Howard University in Washington, D.C. While at Howard, she was selected to be a senate intern in the office of Senator Richard Schweiker of Pennsylvania.

After graduation she became a legislative assistant in Senator Schweiker’s office, responsible for a number of public policy issues including but not limited to economic and business issues. Price was then offered the opportunity to become Vice President and later President of the National Association of Investment Companies, a Washington D.C. trade association serving investment managers, until her departure in 1994.

Price is admired for her leadership, boundless energy, her enthusiasm and her charity. A catalog of her well-known acts of generosity, both in the Greater Hartford area and elsewhere, is exhaustive. Price serves as Vice Chair of the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving as well as the Greater Hartford YMCA; a board member for the Amistad Center for Art and Culture and Hartford Communities that Care; a member of the Howard University Board of Visitors; Treasurer of the Apollo Theater Foundation in New York City; and an independent director of the Vantagepoint Mutual Funds in Washington, D.C. She also was appointed by the CT State Legislature to the Board of Regents.
