Princeton, NJ — Experience Princeton proudly introduced new board members Rachel D. Grainger and William D. Hare at the organization's Annual Meeting on June 26 at the Nassau Inn.
Rachel D. Grainger joins Experience Princeton having worked across start-up, nonprofit and corporate environments. During her career, Grainger earned a reputation as a strategic thinker, an effective planner and a creative problem solver. Grainger is a collaborative and action-oriented leader who understands the power of unlocking team potential.
After beginning her career as a private practice lawyer representing technology companies, Grainger went on to serve as the in-house counsel and a member of the operating management committee for an early stage tech firm where she helped drive process improvement and other initiatives to achieve corporate goals. As an executive in the nonprofit sector, Grainger helped grow an early stage policy and business line. Most recently, Grainger worked with school districts, nonprofits and other community groups on issues including declining school enrollment, new family welcome and engagement, strategic alignment, goal-setting and planning.
Grainger lives in Princeton with her husband and two children.
