Schuyler Center welcomes the newest member of the Board of Trustees, Elizabeth Palley. Dr. Palley joined the Board earlier this year. We asked her to share a bit about why she serves on the Board, and what the work of the Schuyler Center means to her.
Why drew you to serve on the Schuyler Center Board? I learned about the Schuyler Center while doing child care advocacy work. I was impressed by the people I worked with from the organization and was thrilled to be asked to serve on the board.
What does the work of the Schuyler Center mean to you? Why is it important? The Schuyler Center does amazing advocacy work on behalf of children and families. They make sure that the needs of the underserved in our communities are part of policy conversations and help center the voices of people from those communities. They help to organize others in the advocacy community so that we can make more of a difference. I have also been impressed with how well they are able to include providers and former providers in their advocacy around child care.
What are your hopes for the future of the organization? I hope that the Schuyler Center will continue to do the good work that it is doing, advocating for immigrant and refugee families, access to health care for low-income families, universal child care, ending child poverty, and promoting family well-being.
