Jan Connery Retires, New Team of Officers Leads Board of Trustees In June, 2009-10 Board President Jan Connery retired after many years of service to the school. An alumni parent (AP) whose son Jacob Courant graduated in the Class of 2005, Jan set the standard for dedication to our school. Over the years, we have benefitted from her wisdom, strategic guidance, and exquisite communications skills. She participated in several key Board committees, from the Communications Committee and Identity Team, to search committees, to parent initiatives like the Germinating Group and the PCA. We will miss Jan’s deeply reflective and passionate leadership, and wish her all the best in “civilian life.” Replacing Jan at the helm of the Board of Trustees is incoming President and parent (P) Mooly Dinnar. Other newly elected Board officers are Vice-President Keith Hartt (P), and secretary Helena Niiva (F). Shannon Ames (P) is a newly elected board member. (P) Parent
