WESTPORT — The Westport Library board of trustees recently elected a new president and appointed three new members.
Barrie Rosen, a communications executive, succeeded Jeremy Price as the board president at the start of the new fiscal year last month.
Rosen, who had been the board secretary, is head of marketing communications at Consumer Reports. She previously worked at YP, Fox News, News 12 Connecticut and several public relations agencies. She also serves on the board of Staples Tuition Grants.
Rosen “knows the community and the library so well, providing advice and feedback that are routinely brilliant and always on point,” Bill Harmer, the library executive director, said in a statement. “I am incredibly excited to work with her and the other members of the executive committee and the board at large as we continue to grow the library over the next year.”

The Westport Library “has always been a special place for me and my family, even before we moved to Westport,” Rosen said in the library statement. “It is my honor to give back to an institution that has offered so much to me and so many others.”
Regarding Price, who served as board president for two years, Harmer said, “He is a true partner and a trusted friend, and I’m very glad that his important voice will remain on the board for the coming term.”
Melissa Banks, who joined the board in 2022, replaces Rosen as the board secretary.
The three new trustees include: Bob Boroujerdi, a former partner at Goldman Sachs who most recently served as a managing director at Third Point LLC; Mark Silverstein, an internet technology and media executive who has worked at Spotify, Luminary and HuffPost, and Martina Sze, the chief development officer at HealthVest.
They replace Rob Haroun, Jenna Markowitz and Meena Pellerin.
