The Princeton Area Community Foundation Board of Trustees has appointed Treby Williams of Princeton to a 3-year term.
“We are very fortunate to have Treby join us,” said Marygrace Billek, Board Chair. “She’s a dynamic individual who cares deeply about the community. She brings a wealth of executive experience to the board, and her skills will complement those of our current trustees.”
Williams retired from Princeton University, where she worked for almost 20 years, spending a decade as the University’s executive vice president. Before assuming that role, she was the assistant vice president for safety and administrative planning and the director of planning and administration in the Office of the Executive Vice President, and director of the Office of Development Priorities.
“I am honored to join the board of the Community Foundation as it begins its next chapter in advancing philanthropy to support our region and its residents so that all can thrive,” Williams said. “Inspired by my friends and mentors, Bill Burks and Jack Wallace, and their critical roles in the organization’s development, I am excited by the Community Foundation’s new leadership and to collaborate in further extending and deepening its community impact.”
The Community Foundation works with generous donors, nonprofits and community members to promote philanthropy to advance the wellbeing of our communities forever. Since its founding in 1991, the Community Foundation has awarded more than $241 million in grants to nonprofits, including more than $114 million in the Greater Mercer County area.
Prior to joining Princeton University, Williams served as an assistant U.S. attorney in New Jersey and the southern district of New York for 12 years. She also spent three years as an attorney for a New York-based international law firm.
Williams is currently a member of the College of New Jersey Board of Trustees and a board member of the New York University School of Law. She previously served as Chair of the Princeton Day School Board of Trustees and as a board member of Greater Trenton.
She holds a bachelor’s degree in history from Princeton University and a law degree from New York University.
