2021-2022 Board Members
President: MiraBELLA Pulido

Mira has been involved in Rotary International since 2011, when she was awarded a Rotary Youth Exchange scholarship to Poland (D2230). She also currently serves as the ROTEX Coordinator for D7930.
Before moving to Boston, she graduated from UMass Amherst in 2016 with a B.A. in Journalism and Portuguese. After living in Portugal, Brazil, and Seattle, she accepted a job at MIT and has been working there since as a research administrator for the Engineering Quantum Systems Group. She has been working in higher education since 2014 with a focus on international environments and tech equity. Ultimately, she hopes to utilize technology to make education more widely and easily accessible.
When she's not working, you can catch her cooking for friends and hosting dinner parties, exploring different street styles, and reading mags/journaling/wandering around.
Vice President: Jacob henner
Jacob Henner is the Vice President of the club.
He grew up in Atlanta and went to the University of Georgia where he got his BBA in Marketing. He moved up to Boston in September, 2017 and has worked in various marketing roles since then.
Jacob began attending Rotaract events soon after moving to Boston because it provided a social community of people who also like to serve the community. By having a big team of motivated people, we accomplish a lot more than we could alone. He's found it to be a great balance of having fun with friends while also serving others.
Since getting inducted, Jacob has been on the board first as a Service Chair and now as the Vice President. If you are looking to get involved, or just want to see what Rotaract is all about, then reach out or show up to a meeting!
Treasurer: Allison Llanso
Allison LLanso is the Boston Rotaract Treasurer for 2018-2019, and formerly served in this same role starting in early 2019. Allison’s love for Rotary started when she went on a youth exchange to Slovakia (D2240) in 2011-2012. After her exchange, Allison attended Boston College, studying International Studies and Eastern European Studies. Having spent the first few years of her career in Market Research Consulting in Chicago, she is excited to be back in Boston and be an active part of the Rotary family and give back to the community.

Volunteer service co-chair: Eric wellers
Eric moved to the Boston area in 2012 to study International Relations at Tufts University. Since graduating, he worked at State Street bank, then in the local craft beer scene, and then as a temp in a variety of odd-jobs. All the while, he has been taking more classes, exploring the city, and figuring out what he wants out of his twenties.After meeting Sam Anders through a mutual friend and talking about their lives, Sam recommended he check out Roteract. At his first meeting, it was obvious to Eric that a club like this what he was missing; not just a way to explore Boston but a way to engage with it and get involved.
For Eric, service is the key way to turn awareness into action.For fun, he likes:

Eric is very optimistic about his next few years in Boston. He started a new job as an Immigration Generalist at Seyfarth Shaw, and he is eager to find fun volunteer opportunities as one of Rotaract’s Community Service Co-Chairs.
He is really excited to meet all of you and help make this next year the best one yet.
