Rogerson Communities' annual fundraising dinner, Welcome Home!, is a must-attend event that beckons Boston's most prominent corporate and civic leaders to come out for a night of fine food, dazzling auctions and goodwill in support of Rogerson Communities. This year's event was held Wednesday, October 24 at the State Room atop 60 State Street, with sweeping views of Boston Harbor and the city skyline. In 2007 Rogerson Communities honored Marian L. Heard with the Charles E. Rogerson Award for Community Service.

Marian L. Heard has been President and Chief Executive Officer of Oxen Hill Partners, specialists in leadership development programs, since August 2004. She also serves as the Director of Sovereign Bancorp, FleetBoston Financial, Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Massachusetts, Liberty Mutual Insurance Company and CVS, as well as former President and Chief Executive Officer of United Way of Massachusetts Bay and United Ways of New England.

Marian Heard is renowned both locally and nationally. She served as President and CEO of the United Way of Massachusetts Bay for over 12 years. In 1997 she accepted an appointment to serve as Chief Executive Officer of the Steering Committee of the Presidents’ Summit for America’s Future, an event with participation by all living Presidents led by the effort of former President Clinton and Bush and chaired by General Colin Powell. It was the largest gathering for a domestic issue in the country’s history.

In addition, Marian Heard is the founding President and CEO of the Points of Light Foundation which addressed President George H. Bush’s call for social volunteerism nationwide. She continues as a board member and served two terms as National Board Chair.
