A Dedham resident, Ms. Sullivan has a deep commitment to service, having been a founding member of the American Red Cross’s Tiffany Circle, which was established to unite and engage a group of generous and highly-involved women to continue to ensure that the Red Cross has the ability to help people prevent, prepare for, and respond to life’s emergencies. She is also an active supporter of several other humanitarian projects. Ms. Sullivan brings to the Board extensive leadership expertise, an understanding of the importance of a highly educated workforce, and a strong commitment to bettering the lives of others.
