Every year since 1983, the Greater Boston Chamber has had the privilege of inducting some of our region’s most accomplished leaders into the Academy of Distinguished Bostonians.

Meet one of the 2008 honorees: Ted Cutler, philanthropist and vice president, The Interface Group - MA.

Ted is an internationally recognized innovator in the travel industry and a leader in Greater Boston’s civic and philanthropic communities, most notably in the fields of education, the arts, and health care.  He is the founder of GWV International travel company, an organization that helped revolutionize the charter travel and entertainment industries. Today, Cutler serves as vice president and a member of the Board of Directors of The Interface Group – Massachusetts.

Over the course of several decades, Cutler has become a force in the charitable and non-profit worlds of New England. His current endeavors include serving as co-chair of the campaign for the Greater Boston Food Bank and chair of the board of the Hebrew College. Cutler is a Trustee Emeritus of the Citi Center for the Performing Arts and past chairman of Emerson College and the Combined Jewish Philanthropies of Greater Boston.

In 1999, Cutler and his wife Joan made a lead gift toward the restoration of the Majestic Theatre at Emerson College, which reopened in 2003 as the Cutler Majestic Theatre. Cutler also led a campaign to fund new facilities for Emerson’s award winning, student-run radio station, WERS (88.9 FM). 

We hope you will be able to join the Greater Boston business community at the Chamber’s Annual Meeting & Dinner on May 14th as we induct Ted Cutler into the Academy of Distinguished Bostonians.
