Jim DeLauro - Trustees

Biographical Info

I was born in Buffalo, New York to parents who were both first generation citizens of the United States. All four of my grandparents were immigrants from Southern Italy, originating within 30 miles of Naples.
When I was 21 years old, my parents brought me with them on trip to Italy where they introduced me to extended family members. I met my father’s relatives in Naples and my mother’s in Roccapiemonte (near Sorrento). I didn’t return for 30 years, but when I did, I was greeted like a long-lost son. My wife and I have been back multiple times in the past 20 years, and we always spend some time sightseeing and some time visiting the family.
I live with my wife Holli on the StoneWater golf course in Caledonia, Michigan. We moved here from Mexico in March of 2020 right before the State shut down for the pandemic. Prior to living in Mexico for 2 years, we lived in San Diego and San Francisco for nearly 30 years. We are delighted that two of our children and their significant others have followed us here and now live within 3 miles of us. Our first grandson was born here in 2021. In addition to living in California and New York, I also lived in the Philadelphia area for 17 years while I attended graduate school and earned a Ph.D. at the University of Pennsylvania in 1980.
Since 2001 I have operated a consulting firm called DeLauro and Associates working mostly with non profit healthcare clients around the country.
