AIC Announces Arlen Carballo as Trustee, E. David Wilson as Trustee Emeritus

SPRINGFIELD — American International College (AIC) announced Arlen Carballo as a new member of the board of trustees and long-time board member E. David Wilson as trustee emeritus.

Carballo is the executive director of Finance for MGM Springfield, overseeing all aspects of finance operations for both gaming and non-gaming areas. She has been part of the MGM Springfield team since the property opened in 2018, serving as the resort’s first director of Financial Planning.

Prior to MGM Springfield, Carballo was part of the opening team for MGM National Harbor in Maryland. She is a graduate of the MGM Resorts Management Associate Program and has held leadership roles across both finance and operations at MGM’s Bellagio and Mandalay Bay properties in Las Vegas. She holds a bachelor’s degree in hotel and restaurant management from Northern Arizona University and is a graduate of the HACR 2022 Young Hispanic Corporate Achievers program.

Wilson joined the AIC board of trustees in 1991, while serving as president of Milton Bradley. A graduate of the Harvard Advanced Management Program, he was vice president of Parker Brothers before joining Milton Bradley as manager in the game division in 1980. He was later promoted to senior vice president of Sales by Hasbro Industries, the parent company, before being named president, a title he held until his retirement in 2005.

In June 2021, following 30 years of service to the institution, Wilson retired from the AIC board of trustees.

“Beyond the generosity of their philanthropy,” AIC President Hubert Benitez said, “the commitment, dedication, and service to the institution of our trustees are immeasurably important as we look toward a future that allows AIC to be a college of choice for students seeking a sense of belonging, innovative education, and profound student experiences.”
