In December 2010, a plan was approved to expand the Corporation from seven to thirteen members over several years. Ted was elected as part of the expansion of Harvard's governing board from seven to thirteen members. Ted's initial term is for six years.
Ted, a graduate of Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School, will join the board on January 1.
