E
ffective this summer on July 1, 2023, current parent Chris Chou P ’29, ’33 began his work as the Chair of the Board of Trustees at Brimmer and May School. After 11 years of outstanding service, David Kreisler P ’17, ’19, ’23 stepped down from the role of Chair of the Board on June 30, 2023. Under his leadership, the Board has advanced the work of two strategic plans, completed a capital campaign that resulted in the Hastings Center and Innovation Endowment, overseen the School’s pandemic response, and completed a Campus Master Plan, which maps out priorities for the future. David has agreed to continue his service on the Board and will remain as a member on several committees.
the Brimmer community, his valued business and real estate experience, and the strong relationships he has developed with the greater local community make him a great person to chair the Board, and we are excited for his leadership of the School in his new role. Chris recently remarked, “I’d like to thank David for his 11 years as Board Chair and his continued service to the Brimmer community. It is an honor to assume this role and to work with a group of devoted trustees who make Brimmer a priority in their lives. I am looking forward to collaborating with my fellow trustees, Judy Guild, and the entire Brimmer Administration to build upon all that has been accomplished.” Chris and Jessica are parents to Jacob (7th) and Emilia (3rd). The family has been at Brimmer since Jacob began PK in the fall of 2015. The Board of Trustees, together with the entire Brimmer community, would like to thank Chris for taking on this pivotal role. ■
Before taking on the role of Board Chair, Chris Chou served on Brimmer’s Board for three years and has been actively involved in the Development Committee, Governance Committee, and Facilities Committee. He and his wife Jessica have been Parent Co-Chairs of the Annual Fund for the past two years as well as buddy families to incoming parents and students and Admissions Open House tour guides.
