Richelle Gewertz

Co-President & Connections Co-Director – Feast with Friends, Backyard Adventures, Sunday Funday and Laughs & Libations

Smitten by the old-world charm of Beacon Hill, Richelle has had her share of experiences living in a few of the North Slope’s tiniest and antiquated apartments, from former tenements to converted townhomes, from apron sinks to clawfoot tubs. Her appreciation as an architect has led her to fight for the preservation of the neighborhood by participating on the Civic Association’s Architecture and Zoning & Licensing Committees.

Richelle joined the Women’s Forum to forge lasting friendships with those in the community, and loves to attend the many monthly Connections events that bring our members together over drinks, feasts, and fun adventures.

Western Philadelphia suburbs born and raised, Richelle moved to Boston after graduating from Syracuse University when a summer internship the year before led to a full time offer. Do ask her where she has discovered the most authentic cheesesteak outside Philly—hint: it’s on the Hill!
