Marion R. Fremont-Smith

Download (1)UPDATE: Boston Globe obituary.

It is with great sadness that I report Marion R. Fremont-Smith passed away peacefully at her home on December 30, 2021, at the age of 95. While her work helping found the field of Nonprofit Law long predates my involvement, I can share that she constantly encouraged and supported my attempts to contribute to that field. This included through agreeing to meet with me one-on-one when I was able to visit Harvard once, as well as inviting me to present at the nonprofit law seminar that she helped start with Dan Halperin. For more eloquent tributes, see this posting by Mark Sidel on the ISTR website and this remembrance from the NYU National Center on Philanthropy and the Law. A short obituary can be found here.
