As members of the Board of this small nonprofit, our vision is to increase the quality of life for our Manchester-by-the-Sea's most valued asset – its residents and their families and friends who visit. With untold beauty all around, this picturesque seaside village offers tranquility at every turn. We need only to get outside and take a walk to fill ourselves up with the sights and sounds and smells of our surroundings. We want to live in a town where we can take a walk and know there will be a place to rest along the way.

Lisa Bonneville | President & Founder
Lisa has been a business owner in Manchester since 1984. Her interior design firm, Bonneville Design, specializes in helping people prepare their homes for lifelong, multi-generational living. Aging in a home naturally extends into the neighborhood and community in order to maintain good health, social interaction and a sense of well-being. Lisa serves on the town ADA Advisory Committee and Master Plan Committee and delivered Meals on Wheels to many of the town’s elderly for 18 years. It is her vision to create a more walkable town in Manchester-by-the-Sea, MA that inspired the Longevity Bench Project.
