CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Senator Elizabeth Warren, Gilda Nogueira, President and CEO of East Cambridge Savings Bank, and Tim Rowe, Entrepreneur, and CEO of the CIC, will be the Honorees at the Margaret Fuller House 120th Anniversary Gala.

“We are proud of our 120-year history and congratulate our deserving honorees.” Elizabeth, Gilda, and Tim are excellent examples of dynamic leadership and community involvement in 2022,” said Valerie Moore, Chair of the Margaret Fuller House Board of Directors. 

Our Gala will commemorate the 120th anniversary of the Margaret Fuller Neighbor House (Margaret Fuller House). Built in 1807 as the childhood home of Sarah Margaret Fuller, a noted author, feminist, and Transcendentalist, our house on Cherry Street was reinvented in 1902 as one of the first Settlement Houses in the United States. The Margaret Fuller House was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1984,” added Marc Jacobs, Interim Executive Director of MFH.

SENATOR WARREN AND MS. NOGUEIRA TO RECEIVE
THE 2022 MARGARET FULLER AWARD
FOR EXCEPTIONAL
ADVOCACY AND COMMUNITY SUPPORT

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), a former Harvard law professor and senior United States Senator from Massachusetts, has served since 2013. Senator Warren has been a tireless advocate for the public interest, promoting equality and economic opportunity for all.   Senator Warren’s extraordinary work to champion the voiceless in our society and her remarkable accomplishments and outstanding advocacy record aptly showcases her embodiment of the values of journalist and activist Margaret Fuller.

Elizabeth is one of the nation’s leading progressive voices, fighting for significant structural change that would transform our economy and rebuild the lives of many working and middle-class people. 

Senator Warren consistently reaches across the aisle to deliver wins for Massachusetts, making her one of the most influential members of the Senate. She helped secure $750 million in debt relief for students cheated by predatory, for-profit colleges, including 4,500 Massachusetts students and more than 28,000 students across the country.

Before becoming the first woman ever elected to the Senate from Massachusetts in 2012, Elizabeth served as Chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel for the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP)—the oversight board set up in the aftermath of the financial crisis to protect taxpayers, hold Wall Street accountable, and help homeowners get back on their feet.

As a law professor for more than 30 years, Elizabeth taught commercial law, contracts, and bankruptcy courses. She has written over a hundred articles and eleven books, including four national best-sellers, This Fight Is Our Fight, A Fighting Chance, The Two-Income Trap, and All Your Worth. 

Elizabeth and her husband, Bruce Mann, have been married for 41 years and live in Cambridge, Massachusetts, with their golden retriever, Bailey. They have three grandchildren. Elizabeth graduated from the University of Houston and Rutgers School of Law.

Gilda M. Nogueira is the President and Chief Executive Officer of East Cambridge Savings Bank, a $1.6 billion in assets mutually-held Bank headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The Bank operates 11 full-service banking centers in Middlesex and Suffolk counties and a branch and educational training program at Cambridge Rindge and Latin School. While in high school, Nogueira began her career with the Bank as a part-time teller. She has held numerous senior leadership roles at the Bank before being named President and CEO in 2012.

A strong industry advocate, Nogueira believes it is the responsibility of business leaders to give back to the communities they serve. Nogueira currently serves as Chair of the Board of Cambridge Chamber of Commerce and on various committees addressing diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.

Nogueira supports numerous causes and organizations focused on improving the quality of life in the communities served by the Bank. She is past president of the Somerville Rotary Club and continues her membership in the Rotary Club of Somerville. Nogueira serves on the boards of several nonprofit organizations, including the Cambridge YMCA, The Cambridge Matignon School, and the Medford Public Library Foundation.

Recognized by her colleagues and community organizations, Nogueira has received various awards and recognitions, including Bankers and Tradesman “Women of Fire” (2013); Paul Harris Fellow by Rotary International (2014 & 2016); Girl Scouts “Lady Baden-Powell Award” (2015); five times named in Top 100 Women-Led Businesses in Massachusetts by The Commonwealth Institute and the Boston Globe Magazine (2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021); Cambridge Family & Children’s Service Avon Children’s Friend Award (2019); the Cambridge Matignon School Green and Gold Award (2020), the Somerville Chamber of Commerce John W. Fitzgerald Lifetime Achievement Award (2021), and the Massachusetts Alliance of Portuguese Speakers (MAPS) Person of the Year (2022).

Nogueira is a graduate of Lesley University, the National School of Banking – America’s Community Bankers at Fairfield University, and the New England School of Banking – Massachusetts Bankers Association at Babson.

Though modest about her professional accomplishments, she is quick to voice pride and appreciation for her family. Nogueira is a mother of four adult children and a grandmother of nine.
