Currently, Tom is the Chairman of the Board of Brookline’s Community Foundation, the Brookline Community Foundation Previously, he served as its Treasurer. Tom is also the Immediate Past President of Camperships For Nebagamon, an organization that raises funds to support camperships (like scholarships) that make first-rate private summer camping experiences available to children who would not otherwise be able to afford them.

It was through his work with PSED that he ended up being a founding member of an umbrella organization – BEDAC (Brookline Extended Day Advisory Council) – that supports the eight independent extended days across town.
