Eve Fox, Secretary (Development Committee, Executive Committee)

Eve attended the Woodstock Children Center from Kindergarten through Second Grade in the early 1980s — three fantastic, formative years of her early education for which she is forever grateful. The mom of two boys who’ve been at WDS since nursery school, she joined the WDS board in 2018 as Secretary. Prior to that she had served as a volunteer member of the Annual Fund committee and a class parent for several years – both roles that she continues to play. 

Eve is the Digital Director for Beyond Plastics, a nonprofit campaign that aims to end plastic pollution that is based at Bennington College in Vermont. She served as a Vice President of M+R Strategic Services’ digital team – of which she was a founding member – for 12 years.

Bill Bullitt, Treasurer (Finance Committee, Development Committee, Executive Committee)

Bill retired in 2016 after practicing law in Philadelphia for 45 years with Drinker Biddle & Reath. LLP.  For most of those years, his practice centered around representation of individuals, families, and nonprofit entities.  He has served on the boards of numerous charitable corporations and foundations, as well as advising operating charities on fiduciary and tax matters.  As a director or trustee, he often found himself on the Finance and Development committees of those entities, and he brings that experience to his service to Woodstock Day School as Treasurer, chair of the Finance Committee, and member of the Development Committee.  Bill still lives outside Philadelphia, but was drawn to the WDS board by his family connection to the school.

Dariel Vasquez

Dariel Vasquez joined the WDS Board in the summer of 2021. He is the Executive Director of the Brothers@ Organization, and a first-generation college graduate from Harlem, NY. Dariel graduated from Bard College (Class of 2017) with a joint degree in History and Sociology, and a concentration in Africana-Studies. Youth development and mentorship is Dariel’s passion, and he’s been designing programming and facilitating youth engagement workshops since he was 16 years old. Growing up in public housing projects and being raised by immigrant parents, Dariel considered the possibilities a proper education could provide to be the only viable way for him to help his family out of poverty. Dariel’s passion is fueled by his desire to become the kind of mentor his peers never had. His first year at Bard, Dariel created the Brothers At Bard (BAB) support group with the help of his peers—laying the foundation for the work the organization does today. Dariel received a grant from the New York State My Brothers Keeper Initiative upon graduating at 21, allowing him to continue building the organization full-time as the Executive Director. Since then, Dariel has raised over half a million dollars as the co-founder of Brothers@ to expand the work and impact of the organization.
