Continuing their dedicated service on the 16-member Board of Directors of the housing provider, founded in the 1980s by Boston real estate developer Leo Corcoran, are:

• Yasmine Bouchrara of Boston, who joined the board in 2021 and was voted to a three-year term at the board’s monthly meeting in December.

• Katie Catlender of Scituate, who joined the board in 2021 and was voted onto a three-year term.

• Tom Palmer of Natick, who joined the Board in 2015 and was voted to a new three-year term.

Bouchrara is an Equity Research Analyst at Middleton & Company. She is a member of the Investment Committee and serves as the primary Research Analyst for the Consumer Staples sector. Prior to joining Middleton, she worked at Goldman Sachs and Wellington Management Company.

Bouchrara was born and raised in Tunis, Tunisia, and grew up speaking both French and Arabic. She is a graduate of Northeastern University, where she continues to mentor students in the Women in Finance Club. Bouchrara also volunteers at Rosie’s Place.
