ABOUT KAREN PFEFFERLE
I love artists and the stories their work can tell about the past and the world we live in today. My greatest joys and successes in building and managing the collection at Wellington have been learning about new artists from all parts of the world and learning how to share their work with colleagues around the globe. I continue to be inspired by and excited to share the collection of more than 2500 works of art by over 1100 artists from more 45 different countries in new and different ways. As a resident of Boston and as a former Boston Public Schools parent, I find purpose and balance with the work I do as ED of the Foundation. Over more than 11 years in this work, I built and led the strategy that has positioned the Foundation to be a trusted and reliable funder to more than 100 community organizations in the cities and regions where Wellington has offices. Our funding of schools and programs plays a small role in trying to close the opportunity gaps for students in low income, traditionally underserved and historically marginalized communities. But across both these roles, I’m more than anything a dot connector. I love connecting people to others, to ideas and to things that I think will inspire and excite them and hopefully be of benefit to us all.
