The Holliston Newcomers & Neighbors organization celebrated the official induction of its new
Executive Board for the 2025-2026 term during a ceremony held on June 26, marking the
beginning of a new chapter in leadership for the community group.
The leadership transition follows elections conducted in May, with results verified and presented
by the Election Committee at the organization’s May Board of Directors Meeting. The Board
unanimously voted to approve the election results, paving the way for the formal induction
ceremony.
Justin G. Roy, who served as Parliamentarian during the past year, will now step into the role of
President for the upcoming term. Roy will be joined by Vice President Jennifer Mott, Vice
President of Membership Michelle Vainshtein, Treasurer Amy Forman, and Secretary Ursula
Roxin, creating a collaborative leadership structure designed to serve the organization’s growing
membership.
The Holliston Newcomers & Neighbors organization serves as a vital community resource,
helping new residents integrate into the town while fostering connections among both new and
existing neighbors. The group organizes social events, community service projects, networking
opportunities, and recreational activities throughout the year.
“I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity to serve in this leadership role alongside such a strong
and dedicated team,” Roy said following the induction ceremony. “We’re excited to begin this
new term and continue building the strong sense of community that makes Holliston such a
special place to live. Whether you have been rooted in the community for years or are just
settling in, I encourage everyone to consider becoming a member.”
The newly inducted board members will officially begin their duties on July 1, with their term
running through June 30, 2026. The organization continues to welcome new members and
encourages interested residents to participate in upcoming events and activities.
