If one was tasked with naming a woman with her finger on the pulse of the Worcester business community, there’s a good chance the first name to come to mind would be AiVi Nguyen.
A partner at Bowditch & Dewey, LLP, in Worcester, Nguyen prides herself in working at a company boasting not only top-notch legal services, but a dedication to its community. But Nguyen’s influence exceeds her work at a high-profile Worcester law firm and into the nonprofit sector. She serves as a member of the board at the Edward M. Kennedy Community Health Center in Worcester and will begin serving as its chair at the end of 2021.
This follows her stints as board chair of the United Way of Central Massachusetts and as a board member at Quinsigamond Community College. An outspoken proponent of intersectional equity, a dedicated lawyer, and active member of the nonprofit sector, Nguyen is as down-to-earth as she is a force to be reckoned with.
What do you think the future holds for Central Mass.? “Everything. Pandemic quarantine took away the glamour of Boston living for a lot of people. Suddenly, everyone wants a yard and space. That coupled with the ballpark, and I think Central Massachusetts is positioned to continue to grow and develop indefinitely.”
Side hustle: Nguyen is a bona fide social media fashion influencer.
