The year 2018 marked the end of an era in the<br />
history of The Guild as Eric H. Rosenberger retired<br />
as president of the Board of Trustees, marking the<br />
end of his family’s seven decades of distinguished<br />
service to the organization.<br />
Eric, who joined the board in 2003 and became<br />
president in 2012, was instrumental in The Guild’s<br />
move from its longtime home in Waltham to a<br />
much larger, more functional space in Concord<br />
in 2016. He also helped The Guild broaden its<br />
offerings through the addition of a residential<br />
program for adults in 2014. “I was privileged to have had the opportunity to work closely<br />
with the professionals who are so dedicated to the families and individuals we serve,”<br />
Eric said. “I’ve been very fortunate to have had that experience in my life.”<br />
Eric’s father, the Rev. Andrew G. Rosenberger, joined the Board of Trustees in 1949 and<br />
served as its president from 1961 through 2007.<br />
