Why do you serve on the Schuyler Center Board?
I am honored to join generations of SCAA Board members who have supported outstanding advocates for over 150 years in a quest for justice. Currently, under the leadership of Kate Breslin, our remarkable staff is making steady inroads into decades of inequity and injustice.
What does the work of the Schuyler Center mean to you? Why is it important?
I have always appreciated the nuanced, insider approach that has characterized SCAA’s successes over more than a century. Using facts coupled with stories and observations from the field, we have relied on dogged persuasion rather than bombast to win the trust of policymakers of both parties. Our endowment gives us the freedom to speak our mind and the independence to be free from self interest.
What are your hopes for the future of the organization?
I am hoping we continue to be worthy of the legacy we’ve inherited. That will require us to do what generations before have done: provide the financial base from which our indolence springs. I am hoping that we will continue to grow our endowment and welcome new donors to support this transformative work.
