Blumberg, Chaiken new board co-chairs of RISD
The Rhode Island school of Design announced the appointment of Hillary Blumberg and Ilene Chaiken to be the two new co-chairs for the school’s board of trustees.
Both Blumberg and Chaiken are alumni of RISD and have served on the board of trustees since 2020 and 2018, respectively. While serving on the board, both have made their mark after graduating. Blumberg started her career as an industrial designer at Swid Powell, then developed tabletop lines for architects and helped launch Calvin Klein’s high-end home collection. Chaiken has worked in the entertainment business and is known most for creating the Showtime series “The L Word.”
“Since they joined the board, Ilene in 2018 and Hillary in 2020, they have been exceptional advocates for and stewards of our institution, and I cannot wait to see the impact they will have as co-chairs,” said RISD board Vice Chairman Jon Kaman.
The New England Council congratulates Blumberg and Chaiken for this new opportunity.
