Lynda Brown of Haverhill was recently elected a trustee of Whittier Birthplace.
Arthur H. Veasey III, president of The Trustees of the John Greenleaf Whittier Birthplace, said Brown has been a citizen role model for many Haverhill neighborhoods, supporting the Acre and Mount Washington neighborhoods, while advocating for citywide collaboration and vision.
“Identifying and recruiting new trustees is vital to our strategy to remain a significant historical museum especially during these times of social awareness” Veasey said, adding, “Lynda’s commitment to diversity and equality are commensurate with Whittier’s legacy as a pacifist and an abolitionist, which are key elements in our mission as a historic landmark.”
