At Project Vote, we have become convinced that the most effective approach to our work is the seamless integration of research, advocacy, field experience, and legal expertise. I am very pleased to announce Project Vote’s new board of directors for 2010-2011, a group that brings together decades of experience in voter engagement, social justice, civil rights litigation, academic leadership, and philanthropy:
Frank Askin, Rutgers School of Law-Newark
Renee Brereton, Gamaliel Foundation (Chair)
Christina Greer, Fordham University (Secretary/Treasurer)
Margaret Groarke, Manhattan College (Chair, Audit Committee)
Craig Kaplan, Rabinowitz, Boudin, Standard, Krinsky, & Lieberman, P.C
Frances Fox Piven, City University of New York
David Stewart, Ropes & Gray, LLP (Chair, Legal Committee)
J. Philip Thompson, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Garland Yates, Mobilizing Communities Network (Vice Chair)
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank our departing board members, Sunday Alibi, Donna Massey, Maxine Nelson, and Julie Smith for their years of service to Project Vote. These leaders helped Project Vote through a period of tremendous challenges and growth, and we are grateful to them for their commitment. (And thanks also to Lori Minnite, who has also stepped down from the board to become Project Vote’s first Director of Research).
As Project Vote begins an important new chapter in our organization’s history, we are honored to have the leadership, vision, and wisdom of these extraordinarily committed individuals.
