Shared Effort

Princeton Project 55’s Board of Directors recently elected five new alumni to the Board. New Board members (bios below) are Anthony Quainton ‘55, Marsha Rosenthal ‘76, Arti Sheth ‘08, Scott Taylor ‘75, and Dick Walker ‘73. Illa Brown ‘76, Andrew Goldstein ‘06, Jim Lynn ‘55, and Lindsay Wall ‘02 were reelected to the board.

The PP55 Board of directors includes members of classes between ’55 and ’08. The wide range of classes represented by these new and returning Board members is in line with PP55’s strategic goal of diversifying the leadership of the organization beyond the class of 1955.

PP55 owes much gratitude to retiring Board members Mimi Murley ‘76 and Chet Safian ‘55 for their years of board service to Princeton Project 55.
