Gill St. Bernard's School is pleased to announce the nomination of two distinguished individuals to the Board of Trustees for the upcoming 2024-2025 school year: Elizabeth Welch Gustafson P ’20, ’22 and Michael F. Golden P ’99, ’02, GP ’37.
Elizabeth Gustafson, known to many as Beth, is an artist and crafter with a passion for all things creative. Beth has been a vibrant part of the GSB community, actively participating in the Parents’ Association and the Athletic Booster Club during her children's time at the school. Her daughter Ellie ’20 performed as the GSB Knight for two years and played on the golf team, while her son Joseph ’22, known as JW, was a member of the lacrosse team.
Beyond her involvement at GSB, Beth serves as a trustee on the board of Miss Hall’s School in Pittsfield, MA, her alma mater. An avid nature enthusiast, Beth enjoys spending time on Nantucket and hiking with her two dogs.
Michael Golden was a previous board member for eight years and is once again joining the board as his grandson prepares to enter Kindergarten at GSB this September.
Michael's deep ties to GSB are evident through his two children, Cassandra ’99 and Justin ’02. Cassandra attended Drew University and is now a substitute teacher and an assistant coach for the women's soccer team at GSB. She is also a member of the GSB Athletic Hall of Fame. Justin, a University of Pennsylvania alumnus, was the captain of the GSB soccer team and twice elected MVP.
Professionally, Michael joined the Stephen Gould Corporation in 1971. He was promoted to President in 1977 and has served as CEO since 1980. Under his leadership, the company has grown into a global supplier of packaging solutions with 40 offices worldwide. In his personal life, Michael enjoys playing tennis and is a member of the US Equestrian Team.
Gill St. Bernard's School is excited to welcome Beth and Michael to the Board of Trustees. Their diverse experiences and commitment to the community will undoubtedly contribute to the continued growth and success of GSB.
