Says Bill, “Just like we spark curiosity in our students and teach them to embrace challenge, I hope to model these traits as we construct our newest building, thoughtfully integrate new technologies into curriculum, and evolve our signature outdoor education program in this coming year.” But before he tackles these priorities, he’ll start where he did on his first day—learning the names of every new student who comes through the front doors.

Jennifer Bowman, Bowman Real Estate Group brokered by Vanguard Properties

SIMILAR TO PHYSICAL TRAITS AND TALENT, good real estate intuition is often hereditary. Such is the case with Jennifer Bowman, who was born at Marin General Hospital and raised in Ross valley. Given her mother’s legacy as a top-producing Marin real estate agent and her father’s successful career in architecture, it’s safe to say she was born to it. “I probably knew what a variance was before I could do long division,” Bowman often jokes.

Prior to taking up the family line, she gained marketing and business expertise in the hospitality industry, which helps her put people at ease and close deals with style.

She’s been part of people’s real estate lives for generations with clients whose parents were her mother’s clients and who’s children she’s representing. She’s been immersed in real estate in some capacity for over 40 years and knows Marin’s micro-trends and emerging possibilities.
