Welcome, Heather Meeker Green!
It is my great pleasure to welcome Heather Meeker Green to our staff in a new role as Executive Assistant to Prof. Derek Penslar, our Director. After three months as a temporary worker (with the generous support of the Office of the President), Heather has joined us in a longer-term role.
As Executive Assistant, Heather manages Prof. Penslar’s calendar for his many roles as Co-Chair of the Task Force on Antisemitism in the Office of the President, Director of Undergraduate Education in the History Department, Director of the Center for Jewish Studies, professor of History, and more. Heather is now preparing on more financial responsibilities and other projects.
Before joining the Center, Heather served for over 13 years as Managing Director of Accordence, Inc., a company specializing in interest-based conflict resolution and negotiation, and has published several articles in this field. She headed numerous initiatives including finance, operations, business development, client management, marketing, and partnerships in addition to client engagements. Later this week, Heather will travel to Stanford to teach a course on “Negotiation Mastery: Achieve Outstanding Results and Relationships.” Heather is also involved in a number of community organizations, and is currently President of the Board of Directors for the Medford, MA Farmers Market.
