“Partnership with Children Elects Four to Board”

Partnership with Children elected four new members to serve on its board of directors: Jason Albanese, Lee Beck, Andrew Bettwy, and Jed Finn. Partnership with Children also announced a new Leadership Council whose members are committed to supporting the organization, but may not have the time required to serve as a board member. 

“We are thrilled to welcome these four dynamic members to Partnership with Children’s Board of Directors to help us reach more at-risk children with critical social and emotional services, and to transform their schools into safe, supportive learning environments,” said Margaret Crotty, Executive Director of Partnership with Children. “Alongside the newly-formed Leadership Council, they will be terrific assets to the organization, united in their passion for Partnership with Children’s mission.”

The Leadership Council was founded by two past Board members Chris Heilmann, Managing Director and Chief Fiduciary Executive at U.S. Trust, and Thong Nguyen, President of Retail Banking and Co-head of Consumer Banking at Bank of America, and Gregory R. Raimann, Principal at Ernst & Young. The Leadership Council will work in concert with the Board of Directors to help secure sustainable funding for Partnership with Children and serve as ambassadors for the organization.

The new board members are:
