DCD Holds 95th Annual Meeting
More than 200 parents, faculty, staff, and honorary members of the Corporation gathered in the Rand Gym on Thursday night for a evening of connecting, business, and transitions, as DCD held its 95th Annual Meeting. Serenaded by the jazz keyboard melodies of Adam Rochelle '09, the night started with a cocktail reception, followed by a catered dinner and a program including presentations by incoming Board Presidents John Connors and Susanne Joyce, Head of School Allison Webster, Annual Fund Co-Chairs Ashley and Linda Shih, and other school leaders. The night was punctuated by a farewell tribute to outgoing Board President Sheila Hiatt, including a special song performed for the occasion by DCD parent David Coleman (
