Meet The Board: 2025-2026

Each year, the members of the Society vote on the officers and directors of the SPD Board. We’re excited to welcome six new board members this year (Kojo Boateng, Tova Diamond, Inma Hortas, Anne Latini, Alice Morgan and Faith Stafford) and congratulate the 2025-2026 officers (Dian Holton, Rashida Morgan-Brown, Susanna Hayward, Emily Furlani and Brian Lutz). Special thanks to our outgoing board members for serving on the board!
