Marge Connelly will chair the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV), Gov. Ralph Northam announced Tuesday. SCHEV is the state’s coordinating agency for higher education.

Connelly was appointed to the council in 2014 and reappointed in 2018. She currently serves on the board of directors at Norfolk-based PRA Group Inc. She was integral in the 1994 foundation of Capital One Financial Services, where she served as executive vice president of operations for 12 years.

“Alexandra is a terrific addition to the council,” Connelly said in a statement. “With vast government and education experience, she will add tremendous value to our efforts to improve Virginia’s system of higher education.”

Officers for the year starting July 1 and ending June 30, 2021, include:
