Life Rules
Kindness
Respect Responsibility
Honesty
Dear Members of the Beauvoir Community,
The year 2023–2024 provided a unique opportunity for Beauvoir to host a capstone celebration of its 90 incredible years as a leader in elementary education. As your governing board chair, it gives me great honor to thank you for your role in providing the necessary resources and community support to make our work possible. The 2023–2024 version of Beauvoir stood strongly and proudly on the shoulders of giants: those hundreds of faculty, hundreds of volunteers, and thousands of families who have created an environment where it is a daily example, and indeed an expectation, that we carve out a space to put the needs of children first.
The showcase of your extraordinary support in 2023–2024 was impressive—100 percent of our faculty and staff gave to our annual giving effort, The Beauvoir Fund. There is no higher level of commitment than 100 percent, and just another testimonial that no better group of faculty and staff exists in the DC area.
The Beauvoir community gave a generous $959,090 to the annual fund, the School’s top philanthropic priority, a four-percent increase over the prior year’s total. Our 49th Beauvoir Scholarship Benefit went “Beyond” expectations, netting more than $400,000 in proceeds to assist families with financial support to attend Beauvoir; this amount surpassed the prior year by 12 percent.
I hope you will review the profiles of retiring and new board members found on pages 2 and 3. It is my honor to lead this group of individuals as we implement the most recent strategic plan. The work being done by our board today will help guide and inform efforts around faculty compensation and financial assistance, as well as make Beauvoir one of the premier educational environments in the DC area. I look forward to sharing more with you on these topics as the board, working with school leadership, refines plans to conclude Beauvoir’s first century and beyond. As an example, the work that has been done most recently on the new flooring
and HVAC upgrades, which have mostly been accomplished behind the scenes or on evenings or weekends, could not have happened without the support you have provided with your steadfast generosity to Beauvoir. Thank you for setting the tone and the example of philanthropic involvement for this and future generations.
And, finally, I extend my sincere thanks for our tireless, buoyant Head of School Cindi GibbsWilborn, who never ceases to amaze me with her ability to create strategy that is appropriately broad enough to incorporate Beauvoir’s largest needs while still taking into the account the needs of each community member. Beauvoir is indeed blessed to have Cindi. At no time in history has more been expected from heads of school. She makes our school better each and every day, and this governing board chair’s job an easy one!
Thank you, Beauvoir community, for your ongoing support!
My very best,
Kelvin Coleman Governing Board Chair
Beauvoir Welcomes New Trustees for the 2024–2025 School Year
Head of School Cindi Gibbs-Wilborn and Governing Board Chair Kelvin Coleman welcome the following new trustees to Beauvoir’s Board: Kevin Friend, Forest Kettler, Parents Association (PA) President Lisa Lowenstein, Keira Driansky Simon, and Porter Wilkinson.
Kevin Friend is a senior vice president with Compass Real Estate and leads The Friend Group. Prior to real estate, Kevin was a management consultant with experience in complex transactions, negotiations, and change. Kevin attended Georgetown University and received an MBA from the Smith School at the University of Maryland. He and his wife, Yolanda, are parents to Lennox ’25 and Pierce ’27 as well as Beauvoir graduates Aiden ’18 and Austin ’19.
Forest Kettler has more than 15 years’ experience in real estate development, primarily in large-scale, mixed-use, multifamily, and land development projects at his family’s firm, Kettler Enterprises, which is one of the largest multifamily operators serving the Mid-Atlantic and Southern regions of the United States. Forest grew up in Washington, DC, and is an alumnus of St. Patrick’s, the Potomac School, and Boston University’s Questrom School of Business. Forest and his husband, William Springer, are parents of George ’25, Gwynnie ’27, and 3-yearold Wolfgang.
Parents Association (PA) President
Lisa Lowenstein is senior associate general counsel at the biopharmaceutical company AbbVie, where she leads the U.S. Policy Legal Team. Prior to joining AbbVie, Lisa served in several roles, including assistant general counsel at the Pharmaceutical Research
and Manufacturers of America, and as an advisor at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Lisa received her A.B. from Princeton University and her J.D. from Georgetown University Law Center. She and her husband, Jeff, are the parents of Mariella “Mari” ’24 and Luke ’26. Lisa is honored to be the president of the Beauvoir Parents Association this year.
Keira Driansky Simon serves as president of North America & EVP of Ipsen. Prior to joining Ipsen, Keira spent 13 years at AstraZeneca leading teams across the United States, Europe, and global functions. She served as country president for Belgium and Luxembourg, overseeing 14 launches across various therapeutic areas. She has also served as an active board member of the Association of Marshall Scholars, the Yale Science & Engineering Association, the AstraZeneca Foundation, Alexion Belgium, and Pharma.be. Keira received her MBA from Harvard Business School and an MPhil in Bioscience Enterprise from the University of Cambridge. Keira also conducted breast cancer epidemiology research at the University of Oxford as a Marshall Scholar and conducted biochemistry research at Yale under a Howard Hughes Medical Fellowship. Keira graduated summa cum laude from Yale College, receiving a B.S. in applied mathematics with concentrations in molecular biochemistry & biophysics and economics. She and her husband, David Simon, are the proud parents of Chase ‘20, Grant ‘22, and Nadia ‘27.
Porter Wilkinson is counselor and chief of staff to the Smithsonian Institution Board of Regents. Before joining the Smithsonian, Porter practiced law at a multinational law firm. She was a law clerk to Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. of the Supreme Court of the United States and to then-Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. She received her J.D. from the University of Virginia School of Law and received her B.A. with highest honors from the University of North Carolina, where she played women’s lacrosse. Porter and her husband, Jeff Wall, are parents of Jay ’24 and Davis ’28.
We bid a fond farewell to former Board members Kris McBrady, Fernanda Montaño, Ashley McDowell Taylor ’91, former PA President Kate Tyrrell, and Fred Underwood, with deep gratitude for their dedication and service. In addition, thanks are extended to Talhia Therese Tuck, Beauvoir’s first and former Institutional Representative to the PECF Board of Trustees, for her commitment and support.

Your gift to the Beauvoir Fund goes beyond what tuition covers to ensure this year’s needs are fully funded, including educational field trips, classroom resources, exceptional professional development for our faculty and staff, and curricular improvements that evolve with our students’ learning needs.
Your support ensures each child benefits from Beauvoir’s exceptional partner-teacher model.
“
One of the many reasons we teach at Beauvoir is because we have experienced firsthand that the very best way to truly understand each student’s needs as a unique learner is to have two, fully qualified teachers in every classroom. This means every student has a team who collaborates innovatively, teaches dynamically, and partners to ensure each child is meaningfully engaged in every moment of their amazing school day. Beauvoir’s Annual Fund is fundamental in supporting the partner-teacher model.”
Nicole Maaia & Jakobi Jackson, First Grade Partner Teachers
