The new board members began their terms this summer:   

• Marta Garcia is a Principal in the Intellectual Property Litigation Group at Choate, Hall & Stewart LLP and represents leading technology and life sciences companies in complex patent and intellectual property disputes. Marta is a longtime resident of Boston and is raising her young family here. As the first lawyer in her family, she cares deeply about education, mentorship, and public institutions.
