Members of the board are elected for three-year terms. The Board of Directors meets monthly. Club members come together in March each year for an annual general meeting. You can read about each member of the board below:
Kevin Maloney- President
A long, long time ago, Kevin was an unremarkable sweep rower in Canada, competing for Carleton University and (briefly) the Argonaut Rowing Club. Kevin joined Nereid in the 2022 season with two goals in mind: to learn how to scull and to compete at Head of the Charles. He joined the Nereid board in April 2023..
Arthur Ware – Treasurer
Arthur has more than 35 years of rowing experience across rowing clubs from Boston, California, and South America. A heavyweight varsity rower from BB&N high school in Cambridge, MA and UC Berkeley and a competitive Master rower for Marin, Nereid, and others. He has competed in regattas in England, the US, and Canada and leads the organization of the racing schedule for the Nereid competitive masters which is a little bit like herding cats.
Peter Willcox- Head of Facilities
Peter has been a Nereid member since he graduated from Nereid’s adult Learn-to-Row program in the spring of 2005 and has just rejoined the Board after having served in various Board positions from 2008 to 2014. Peter has competed in local regattas including the Head of the Passaic, various events on the Schuylkill, and Head of the Charles in everything from a single to an 8+. Peter enjoys the solitude while heading out on the Passaic in his single but also loves the camaraderie of the big boats on Saturday mornings at Nereid.
Silvia Helou- Director at Large
Silvia has been rowing and competing for the last 30 years between Argentina and Nereid. She has competed in Head of Charles, Master Nationals. She joined the Board of Directors in 2022.
Larry Wilkins- Secretary
Larry is a proud graduate of Nereid’s adult Learn to Row program. He became a Nereid member in 2023 and joined the board in 2024. Larry competed in his first race in 2023, rowing with Evan Seehaus, and finished notlast in Men’s Masters Doubles at the Head of the Passaic. He is hoping to build on this resounding success in future competitions.
Andrew Wilson- Director at Large
Andrew learned to row on the character-building-waters of Lake Ontario, nearly forty years ago, for Upper Canada College. He later rowed on the Charles for Harvard’s Freshman Heavyweights and then Varsity Lightweights. Now, after a three-decade pause, he is back on the water again learning to scull with Nereid’s masters on the bucolic Passaic.
Emma Sullivan – Head of Party Planning
Tatiana Choteborsky – Director at Large
Tatiana Choteborsky joined Nereid Boat Club in 2022 and quickly found not only a place to train, but a community she wanted to help grow. As a member of the Board of Directors, she focuses on member engagement, communications, and community outreach, with a particular interest in developing partnerships and raising awareness of the club. Outside of rowing, Tatiana is an educator and entrepreneur who believes that strong organizations are built through shared purpose, an engaged community, and active participation.
