William S. Grindlay
Chairman of the Board
Member, Finance and Facilities Committee

The expertise in Finance and Accounting that Governor Grindlay brings to the board has been instrumental in decision making since his appointment to the Board in 2002. That year was significant for the Governor. Having retired from a career in government service that spanned almost thirty years, he found himself driven by his civic responsibilities.

He earned a certificate, and Associate’s Degree and a Bachelor’s Degree from Bentley College and Northeastern University, respectively, while he worked full time for the City of Quincy and the Norfolk County District Attorney’s Office. Much like some Quincy College students, Mr. Grindlay understood first hand the sacrifices some are forced to make in order to better themselves. This sparked a course of action to provide opportunity to area residents who did not have the educational or financial faculties to attend other institutions. As a resident of Quincy, he knew of Quincy College and heard testimony as to how it changes lives. Dividing his time between his home and a residence in Florida, Mr. Grindlay dedicated much of his newly found ‘free time’ to the college. He serves soundly, as one of the Board’s financial advisors while he continues lending his expertise to a self-run tax preparation and small accounting business.
