She completed her two-year term as chair in June and is succeeded by Luke Shorty of Winthrop. Tilton-Flood will continue to lead public policy work in her capacity as immediate past chair.
During her tenure the commission expanded programming despite the pandemic, increased grant funding, and undertook several key studies including the role volunteer service programs could play in addressing climate adaptation.
