Stephen Matloff

Los Angeles, CA 

An entrepreneur focused on retrofitting homes to the highest sustainability standards while preserving their historical character. The home that he shares with his wife and three children serves as the demonstration project for his work.

Matloff's efforts on behalf of Andover include nearly two decades of service on the New York and Southern California regional associations and leadership teams. He has been a consistent Non Sibi project leader and a dedicated class agent. His appointment as Alumni Council president begins his 15th year on council. He chaired the Strategic Innovation Committee which delivered the council's strategic plan that created Non Sibi Day and the Athletic Hall of Honor, among other initiatives. He served two terms as council vice president and in that capacity chaired the Governance Committee and Nominating Committee.

Matloff holds an MBA from Harvard and a BA from Yale. He spent the early part of his career in finance, working in mergers, acquisitions, and restructurings at Lehman Brothers and Morgan Stanley. He then cofounded a health information technology business to create longitudinal patient tracking and tools to improve coordination of health care.

Matloff’s volunteer roles outside of Andover include serving on the International Board of Governors and American Committee National Board for Shaare Zedek Hospital in Jerusalem. He co-heads fundraising for Larchmont Charter School, a public charter K-12 school in Los Angeles. And he serves on the Tikkun Olam (community service) Committee, Disaster Response Team and Men's Group leadership team of Wilshire Boulevard Temple in Los Angeles.

President of The Priority Group, a management consulting firm she founded in 1996. She cofounded and is president of Contacts 411, a privacy-centric contacts updating app. Sallick previously was managing director at Harte Hanks, where she established the marketing planning and analysis division, and was vice president of client development after working at Barneys New York and Goldman Sachs. She is a graduate of Wesleyan University.

The board of trustees is the principal governing body of Phillips Academy. Its elected members are fiduciaries, responsible for: selecting and supporting the head of school; ensuring that academy policies are mission-aligned; stewarding financial decisions that sustain the excellent physical, human, and program resources that comprise the Andover experience.

The board includes a variety of members. Seventeen serve as charter trustees, one of whom is the head of school; others serve six-year terms. Four serve as alumni trustees elected to four-year terms by the alumni body. The president of the alumni council serves as a trustee as do the cochairs of the Annual Giving Board (on a rotating basis).
