Board Executives

Kathleen Corbeil

Co-President

Kathleen grew up in Westport and raised her three sons here. She has a BA in Psychology from the University of Massachusetts, a Masters in Special Education from Bridgewater State College, and a Specialist in Education from Simmons College. She was a classroom teacher then literacy specialist for 24 years. She has been a Friends member for three years and previously served as Secretary. Supporting the Council on Aging as a Board member has personal significance. Both of her parents were dedicated volunteers who then, many years later, benefited from the varied activities, events, support services and resources provided by knowledgeable and experienced staff at the center.
