27 Feb Welcoming Dr. Naomi Maynard as Our New Director of Advancement & Alumni Relations!
We are delighted to welcome our new Director Dr Naomi Maynard to our team!
Naomi joined us in late January and has hit the ground running, meeting Alumni in London, Edinburgh, Bangkok, Chicago, Goshen, St Paul’s/Minneapolis, New York and Boston!
Naomi has been on the hillside since July 2024, with her family Revd. Adam Maynard (Woodstock School chaplain), Harvey (grade 6) and Donny (grade 1). Originally from Scotland, she is no stranger to India having spent her teenager years at Hebron School in Ooty, Tamil Nadu where her father Alastair Reid was Principal for 9 years and served on the Woodstock Board.
Naomi has worked in fundraising, communications and engagement in the NGO sector for the last 14 years; most recently as Director of ‘Feeding Liverpool’, a network of 75 food poverty charities in Liverpool, UK. Naomi holds a Doctorate from Newcastle University in Human Geography, with a specialism in Youth Participation, and an MSc in Social Research from the University of Edinburgh. She is an avid writer having published several academic articles and policy papers on topics including social injustice, youth activism and faith. Outside of work Naomi loves playing sports, climbing the hills and supporting Everton Women’s FC.

A word from our new Director: “I am honored to be joining the team and serving the Woodstock community through this role. It has been a joy to meet several alumni over my first few weeks, listening and learning about your experiences at Woodstock. I look forward to meeting many more of you both on campus and at gatherings in the months and years ahead!”
