Kathy joined the Bay community in 2005, when her son became a member of the second entering class at Bay. At the time, she was an active trial lawyer and a litigation partner with Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe and was not as deeply engaged with Bay as she wished she could be. Kathy remedied that problem by joining the Bay board in 2009, the year her son graduated from Bay. Between 2009 and 2018, Kathy served Bay in a number of capacities, including as chair of the board of trustees (2011—2014), and as chair of the board’s Committee on Trustees. Kathy also served as co-chair, with trustee Stephanie Sears, of the board’s strategic planning committee on diversity, equity and inclusion. It was Kathy’s desire to remain involved with this important, on-going work that led her to accept the board’s invitation to rejoin the board in 2019: “Bay has distinguished itself as an innovator and leader in independent school education. It is tremendously rewarding to be engaged in a thoughtful process that will allow us to innovate and lead in practices that question and dismantle obstacles to achieving educational potential, and that address cultural and institutional biases and discrimination.”
