Reggie Van Lee

" The two most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you understand why. "

WELCOME

Welcome to Reggie Van Lee’s website. After thirty-two glorious years at Booz Allen Hamilton, and numerous threats to do so, Reggie has finally retired.

He will continue to do many of the things he loves — including his philanthropic work. You can find out more about Reggie’s service on boards, and the many institutions he serves here.

As Alexander Graham Bell once said: “When one door closes, another door opens.” Reggie closed the Booz Allen door but this website, his social media presence, and especially his upcoming memoir are signs of the next chapter to come. You can find out more about Reggie on his social media platforms.

LOREM IPSUM DOLOR SIT AMIT

Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words.

The standard chunk of Lorem Ipsum used since the 1500s is reproduced below for those interested. Sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 from “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” by Cicero are also reproduced in their exact original form.
