Charlotte Haldeman Whitmore '99
Field Hockey, Lacrosse, Squash
Charlotte Haldeman Whitmore was a standout athlete at Baldwin, excelling in lacrosse and field hockey. In her senior year, Charlotte's dedication and commitment to both sports were recognized when she received the Baldwin White Blazer Award. Charlotte's athletic accomplishments were further acknowledged when she was awarded the Tracy Tunnel '69 MVP Award for field hockey. Charlotte's leadership and hard work on and off the field made her a key player at Baldwin.
After graduating from Baldwin in 1999, Charlotte continued her journey of excellence at Dartmouth College, this time in squash. Her leadership on the squash team was about strategy, skill, empathy and understanding. As a four-year starter, she led by example, constantly pushing herself and her teammates to be their best. Her senior year saw her captain the team, a role she embraced with grace and determination, guiding them to their highest national ranking in history, fourth in the country. Charlotte's national ranking at #32 is a testament to her exceptional skill and unwavering competitive spirit, but her personal qualities truly set her apart.
Charlotte's commitment to the Baldwin community is a source of pride. Her volunteer work as a Class Agent, service on her Reunion Committee and past role as a Baldwin National Board of Advisors member are a testament to her enduring connection to the School. In 2014, Charlotte's dedication was recognized with the Distinguished Young Alumna Award, celebrating her ongoing commitment to Baldwin and her significant contributions to her profession.
Charlotte's professional journey is equally impressive. As the Legal Director of Life After Justice, an exoneree-led non-profit, she is dedicated to combating wrongful convictions nationwide. Her role as a Senior Attorney at the Boston College Law School Innocence Program, where she supervises students in investigating and litigating wrongful convictions in Massachusetts, further demonstrates her commitment to justice. But it's her past role as an Assistant District Attorney, Conviction Integrity Program Coordinator, in the Middlesex District Attorney's Office that truly showcases her impact. There, she helped develop best practices and procedures for potential wrongful convictions, a contribution that has had a lasting effect on the legal field.
