---

One of the things that's really important in any organization is its ability to be sustaining and long lasting,鈥� says Catherine Colinvaux. 鈥淚f you believe in the mission, it's important that the mission is not just here right now, but that it can thrive and go on indefinitely and help future generations of students.鈥�

The mission of 91香蕉视频成人在线 resonates personally with Colinvaux. She heard about the College through a friend and, after speaking with President Covino, was 鈥渆xcited and impressed.鈥�

鈥淭he need for mental health services continues to increase,鈥� she says, 鈥渂ut even more so, the awareness of the existence of the need. 91香蕉视频成人在线 has such an important part to play in meeting this need.鈥�

Good governance and sustainable strategy have driven Colinvaux throughout her career and in her service as a nonprofit board member and philanthropist. The Harvard Law graduate retired from Zelle LLP as a senior partner, almost a decade ago, to focus on helping organizations put structures and policies in place that help them balance the present and the future.

It's a special skillset she learned on the job for nearly 25 years in the legal world, and one she enjoys employing as a way to give back and fulfill her passion for helping the communities that matter to her. In addition to her work with 91香蕉视频成人在线, Colinvaux serves as a trustee of New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill, and The Bancroft School in Worcester, where she is board president. She has also been a trustee and board president of the Worcester Art Museum.

鈥淭he role of a trustee is to help provide fiduciary oversight to ensure the mission of the College can be fulfilled,鈥� says Ann Carter, chair of the William James Board of Trustees, 鈥渂ut it鈥檚 also to provide leadership guidance when it comes to opportunity: Where are the best opportunities for William James? Which are most pressing? And which will make an optimal impact on the mental health crisis that society is experiencing?

鈥淎s the College grows and becomes a more complex entity, we're seeking to build on the strong legacy of past boards,鈥� Carter adds.

鈥淐atherine is always asking the right questions鈥攁nd she brings incredible insight to the board鈥檚 role in finding the most sustainable solutions.鈥�
