Board of Trustees

The Kepler College Board of Trustees helps guide the college in its development, strategic planning and financial soundness. Board members have a passion for both astrology and the promotion of excellence in astrological education.  The individuals involved with Kepler College are a varied group, from administration to volunteers. We live throughout the United States and around the world. Some have over 40 years of experience practicing astrology and others are relative newcomers. We all care about promoting quality education and professionalism.

Meet Our Current Board Chair

Denise Menton is an attorney and practicing astrologer who divides her time between New York City and Lakeville, Connecticut.  She holds degrees from Cornell University, College of Arts and Sciences, and Boston University School of Law, as well as a Kepler Professional Diploma in Astrology. 

Denise spent several years working with InMotion (now Her Justice), a nonprofit providing free legal services to women living in poverty in New York City.  She played a pivotal role in creating and running the organization’s original benefit photography auction, which remains its primary fundraising event. Denise also served on InMotion’s Board of Directors and chaired the Nominating Committee. In addition to her legal and nonprofit work, Denise volunteered as a mediator with the New York Peace Institute. She served on the Advisory Board of the New England Foundation for the Arts (NEFA) and as Secretary and Vice-Chair of the Board of Trustees for Kepler College. Denise was elected Chair of the Kepler College Board of Trustees in January 2025.

Denise previously owned and operated Betwixt, a preteen girls’ clothing store in Manhattan’s West Village, and is currently creating the Bleecker Street Salon, a vibrant gathering space for Astrological Social Events that blend astrology, major current events and meaningful conversations.
