Meredith Leathers
Carbrey '88
In
her profession and in service to others, Meredith Leathers
Carbrey strives for accomplishment. A 1992 cum laude graduate
from Wake Forest University, Meredith went on to earn a masters
of business administration from the University of Louisville
in 1994, and has continued her professional education while
working in private banking. Currently assistant vice president
of the private client group with Star Wealth Management in
Indianapolis, she manages high net worth private banking portfolios
in order to help clients define and achieve their financial
goals.
While Meredith has worked her way up in the
financial world through hard work and determination, she has
spent as much time, if not more, as a successful volunteer.
She was voted Woman of the Year by the Leukemia & Lymphoma
Society, in part, for raising $12,000 in six weeks. She has
also been involved with The Junior League for many years as
an active member and a past co-chair of the Association of
Junior Leagues International Centennial Celebration. She has
served as treasurer for both the Louisville Collegiate School
Alumni Board and The Younger Womens Club of Louisville.
Other organizations that have benefited from her time and
energy are: The Academy of Music at St. Francis in the Fields,
Inc., the Kentucky Arts and Craft Foundation, and the Red
Cross.
Meredith quotes President Dwight D. Eisenhower
by saying,
"Accomplishment will prove to be a
journey, not a destination;' and says, '
I can assure
you that I am still on the journey. I have faced many challenges
and had many successes, all of which have taught me another
lesson: accomplishment may have more to do with how well prepared
you are for the journey and how determined you are to learn
it and enjoy it than it does with whether you arrive
