A businesswoman and diplomat, McElveen-Hunter spends half her time in Greensboro, N.C., where she is the founder and CEO of Pace Communications, a custom publishing company with a client list that includes Southwest Airlines, US Airways, Bluetooth, Verizon, and Four Seasons.

In 1999, McElveen-Hunter entered the political arena by raising funds for Elizabeth Dole’s brief presidential run before volunteering her services for George W. Bush’s successful campaign.

Three years later, President Bush appointed her to be U.S. ambassador to Finland and, in 2004, named her the first female to chair the American Red Cross’s board of governors.

Despite her ties to the Grand Old Party, McElveen-Hunter insists she is not a die-hard partisan. “When there’s work to be done, who cares what party you belong to?” she says. “My mission supersedes partisanship.”
