Carol grew up in a small Vermont city, exploring by foot and bicycle. Her fascination with transportation led to a career in Boston, spanning government, private sector, and non-profits. Now retired and a grandmother, she dedicates her time to family and community. Carol finds joy in connecting people, places, and ideas, viewing neighborhood work as a boundless, holistic endeavor. She envisions a future where pedestrians and cyclists travel safely, buses move freely, motor vehicles are used efficiently, and people connect among tree-lined streets.

Joan and her husband Mike moved to the neighborhood in 2016 and she has been president of the SBNA since 2018. Professionally, she has worked in marketing, public outreach, decorative painting and wine sales. (Not all at the same time, haha) Her favorite part of living here? That even though we live in the city, our corner of Boston feels like a real neighborhood where you run into friends and familiar faces every day, and where neighbors truly help one another.

I joined MAC because of my love of the neighborhood and the desire to bring all people of the community together. We are stronger together. Together we can learn and support each other in culture, and community.
