 Rose Kennedy Greenway Conservancy Announces Two New Board Members

Thursday, May 15, 2025 – BOSTON, MA – The Rose Kennedy Greenway Conservancy, the non-profit organization responsible for the management and care of The Greenway, is proud to announce the addition of two new members to its volunteer Board of Directors: Luz Arregoces and Christopher Loh. 


“The Rose Kennedy Greenway is a treasured Boston landmark,” said Governor Maura Healey, who appointed Loh. “It is really important that we preserve and enhance our urban greenspaces like the Greenway because they are critical pieces of our economy, our communities and our climate resiliency plans. I am confident that Chris will contribute to these important conversations and advance the Conservancy’s mission."


Secretary of Energy and Environmental Affairs, Rebecca Tepper, who appointed Arregoces to the Conservancy Board highlighted the connection between The Greenway and Boston’s waterfront.


“The Greenway is a beloved gathering space for our community that serves as a connector between the city and our waterfront,” Tepper said. “The strength of our urban parks lies in their ability to create vibrant community spaces where all are welcome. Luz’s vision and leadership experience will ensure The Conservancy parks remain equitable. I am confident she will continue to bring  diverse programming and dynamic public art to Boston's residents and visitors.”


The 21 members of the Greenway Conservancy’s Board of Directors are nominated by community groups, government agencies and officials, the Greenway Business Improvement District, and the Conservancy. 


Driven by a shared enthusiasm for The Greenway, these volunteers collaborate to use their diverse expertise and viewpoints to actively support the Conservancy’s mission and its sustainability goals.


“We are delighted to welcome Luz and Christopher to the board,” said Hilina D. Ajakaiye, Chair of the Greenway Conservancy Board and Executive Vice President at Meet Boston. “Their years of experience serving the greater Boston community and advocating for inclusivity and accessibility throughout their work will greatly serve the mission of the Conservancy.”


“The Greenway attracts millions of visitors to Boston each year through their vibrant and dynamic programming and beautiful park spaces,” said Rebecca A. Lee, Vice Chair of the Conservancy and Chair of the Conservancy’s Nominating Committee. “Welcoming new Board members like Arregoces and Loh is essential to advancing the missions of community engagement and public service, both of which are essential to The Greenway.”
