Easton, Md. – Londonderry on the Tred Avon is led by its ten-member Board of Directors, who volunteer their time and talents to provide guidance and strategic direction to advance Londonderry as the region’s premier senior living community. They also work closely with Londonderry’s Leadership Team who is responsible for the day-to-day operations and activities on campus.

Londonderry is a cooperative independent-living retirement community where all residents are part-owners of the corporation, which creates a strong, resident-driven culture. At Londonderry, residents are elected by their peers to the Board, and also take on additional leadership roles such as chairing or serving on a committee or spearheading a specific event, project or program.  

Londonderry’s leadership model is also unique in that its Board of Directors is intentionally comprised of residents as well as members of the greater professional community who have expertise in healthcare, finance, real estate, and other industries related to Londonderry’s operations. Londonderry’s board members also have staggered and limited terms to allow for a diversity of representation in Leadership. Londonderry residents will elect two new resident directors at the annual Stockholder’s Meeting in August.

“We are so grateful to our Board of Directors who give so much to Londonderry,” said Irma Toce, Londonderry CEO. “Our unique model of blending residents and community members on our board allows for us to benefit from a breadth and depth of personal and professional experiences. Their insight and advice are invaluable to our leadership team.”
