The Board also unanimously reelected Dr. Susan C. Pannullo as Chair of the Board. Dr. Pannullo, a Professor of Neurological Surgery at New York-Presbyterian Hospital / Weill Cornell Medicine, has served as a TWC Trustee since 2007. This marks her second term as Board Chair.

Isaiah Boswell, a 2014 alumni and recipient of the Samuel G.

Boswell is the Southwest regional representative on the TWC Alumni Leadership Council (ALC) and will bring his fiduciary experience and alumni relationships to fuel the Board.

Geoff Schaefer, a 2007 alumni, is a leader in the increasingly critical field of responsible Artificial Intelligence (AI). Schaefer leads Booz Allen's Responsible AI practice and serves as the firm's Chief AI Ethics Advisor. His work in making responsible AI more practical, tangible and useful across a wide range of industries will help fuel TWC’s growth in providing career connections and exploration in digital and emerging technologies. Schaefer is a regular contributor to TWC programming, sharing his insights at events for students and alumni.

Dr. Pannullo expressed her enthusiasm for the new appointments, stating, "We are honored to welcome Isaiah Boswell and Geoff Schaefer to our esteemed Board of Trustees.

Their financial, organizational and subject matter strength will be invaluable as we continue to empower the next generation of leaders. I also recognize Susan’s leadership and partnership as she continues her role as Board Chair."
