CONNECTIONS
Connecting is the core of our mission at the Beacon Hill Women’s Forum. We have created several opportunities for you to connect with other members. We welcome your suggestions about other ways to gather, you are the ones who continue to inspire us!

Connections Directors
Kati Livingston
Connections Co-Director
Kati is an executive coach and organizational consultant who recently returned to Beacon Hill after first moving here in 2013. A watercolor artist and fan of aimless city wanders, she finds joy in simple discoveries. Charles Street Supply is her go-to neighborhood gem.
Jalpa Desai
Connections Co-Director
Jalpa is a supply chain & process transformation consultant who calls Boston her home for the past 4 years. Boston and surrounding areas continue to surprise and delight her. Growing up in the south, she is constantly mesmerized by the 4 seasons and continues to count her blessings every second she gets to spend in this beautiful city.
Jackie McBride
Book Group Co-Director
A seasoned storyteller with a background in journalism and media, Jacqueline has lived in Boston’s Back Bay for over 20 years. She’s an avid runner and Book Group regular since BHWF’s founding, known for her morning Esplanade runs, and love of pizza with champagne. Don’t miss her at 75 Chestnut—The “real” Cheers, one might say.
Maryellen Callanan
Book Group Co-Director
Maryellen is a recruiter for Huntington Bank who recently moved from Fort Myers, FL. She joined the BHWF Book Group in 2024 and is excited to dive deeper this year. When she’s not reading, she’s walking the Esplanade, enjoying concerts, or sipping cocktails at the Long Bar.
