I am honored to be President of Westover’s Board of Trustees. Who would have thought that when I arrived at Westover (in the middle of the night with one suitcase) that I would return, 44 years later, as President of the Board of Trustees – proof that transformations do happen at Westover! The role of a Trustee is to ensure that Westover remains true to its mission, is fiscally sound, and navigates the fine line between tradition and the contemporary so that our students have a well-rounded experience that they can take into the world. It is also important that we, as Trustees, provide strategic insight and guidance to ensure the School’s reputation and programs are sound so that when we are asked “Why Westover?” we leave the inquirer pondering “Why not Westover?”
