THE GLOBAL CITIZEN - Wilbraham & Monson Academy

ADMISSION DEPARTMENT PROFILE
Brian K. Chatterley, Esq. joined Wilbraham & Monson
Academy as Director of Admission & Financial Aid
in August. Brian spent the last three years at Hawaii
Preparatory Academy, where he restructured the admission
department and created a new Web site, while substantially
increasing enrollment. In addition, he served as Director of
Advancement, overseeing the development and alumni relations
department. Brian has both an M.B.A. and a J.D. and comes
to the Academy with a wealth of experience, having directed
admission departments at St. Andrew’s-Sewannee School in
Tennessee, The Andrews School in Ohio, and The Leelanau
School in Michigan. Brian has made some organizational changes
in the Admission Office, including dividing responsibilities
for day and boarding admission between Robyn Boyer and John
Boozang.
John Boozang has been a member of the Admission team
since 2000. Before coming to WMA, he was a bond
underwriter in the construction insurance business.
John graduated from Lafayette College in Easton,
Pennsylvania, and from Suffield Academy, but we’ve
forgiven him for that. He played baseball for both
schools, and he is one of the coaches of our championship
Varsity Baseball team. In addition to his
responsibilities for boarding admission, he is also
aiding the Development Department as Director
of International Advancement, boosting international
parent and alumni support of the
Annual Fund and the endowment.
Robyn Boyer joined the Admission Office in 2004,
coming from The Barrie School in Silver Spring,
Maryland, where she was Director of Admission &
Financial Aid. Robyn graduated from Washington
College and Brooks School. As part of her charge to oversee
day-student admission, Robyn works closely with
Charlie D’Avanzo on the recruitment and admission of
Blake Middle School students. She has also established
the Tipster program, teaming up returning and new students
to make the opening days of school comfortable
for new students. Robyn coaches the Girls’ JV Lacrosse
team, which last year was undefeated, and she’s the advisor
to the Class of 2008.
Ann Marie LaMontagne has served as Administrative
Assistant for nine Directors of Admission & Financial
Aid, having worked at the Academy since 1978. Both her son
Glenn ’87 and her daughter Michele ’90 are graduates of the
Academy. It is said that she predicts the number of students for
the opening of school before anyone else, writes the number
down, and tucks it away in her desk drawer. She has an amazing
record for accuracy in the prognostication department.
