Leland S. Prussia Chairman of the Board BankAmerica Corporation San Francisco Leland Prussia has been a lllelllber of the USO Board of Trustees since 1977 and serves on the Finance Collllllillee. His nu/llerous civic and professional activities include the Co111111onwealth Club, the Northwestem University Graduate School of Manage111ent Advisory Council , A111erica11 Econo111ics Association, and Stanford Associates. At BankAmerica, we believe that a college or university education with a strong liberal arts core produces excellent employees .
