About Bill Cummings

Bill is the founder of Cummings Properties. In 1986, Bill and Joyce Cummings established Cummings Foundation, which has grown to be one of the three largest private foundations in New England. They were the first Massachusetts couple to join the Giving Pledge, an international philanthropic organization founded by Bill Gates, Melinda French Gates and Warren Buffett, and they have been honored to receive dozens of community accolades and honorary degrees.

Bill recently published the seventh edition of his self-written memoir, Starting Small and Making It Big. Following the fireside chat, Bill will host a book signing, and refreshments will be served at a reception with students, faculty, staff and community members.
