Board of Directors

BOARD OF DIRECTORS 2020-2021 

Eric Seidman – Acting President of ABC of Westport

Eric has been involved with A Better Chance of Westport for over 12 years. He had attended an early fund raiser when ABC was getting started and years later, volunteered to be a driver for the Scholars.  Two years later Eric joined the Board of Directors as Treasurer and after 2 years on the board, was elected President of A Better Chance of Westport and served for 4 years.  After two additional years as Past President, Eric stepped off the board but continued to volunteer in a variety of roles.  Eric rejoined the Board in late 2020 as acting President.

Eric and his wife Leslie have lived in Westport since 1996 and their daughter graduated from Staples high school in 2013.  Eric and Leslie met at Colgate University where he earned a BA in Mathematical Economics and later an MBA in Marketing from The Wharton School at UPenn.  He has spent most of his career in and around the Food Industry.  When not working on A Better Chance initiatives, Eric advises and invests in early stage food & beverage companies.
