I had been working for years with Jobs for Peace to achieve a 25% transfer of military dollars to much-needed domestic spending on education, jobs, health and housing. I met Ben, Jerry and Jeff at the beginning of the One Percent for Peace Campaign. How long have I been on the BOD: Since 1996 After several years of working with the company on a number of projects, I was thrilled to be nominated and voted onto the Ben & Jerry's Board of Directors. With advice from myself and other activists and organizers from around the country, the Foundation established the employees as the decision-makers for grant making. Soon after working as a volunteer on the One Percent for Peace Campaign, I was asked to help think through the organization of the Ben & Jerry's Foundation.

I am fortunate to live my passion as a strategist/coach to organizations, communities, businesses and leaders advancing progressive policies in the areas of racial equity, civil rights, affordable housing, accessible health care, quality education and community economic development. Over the past four decades, I have worked as a justice and equity co-conspirator with people who are marginalized socially, economically and politically. As an organizer, I received a rich education from an amazing set of people committed to securing basic human rights for everyone: community activists in Mississippi fighting for equal access to voting migrant and seasonal farmworkers in North Carolina demanding clean drinking water in the fields homeless women and their families in Philadelphia redeveloping abandoned buildings into affordable housing enterprising teenagers in the South Bronx running their own farmers’ markets. I knew that I was destined to spend my life working for peace, justice and equity. My parents continually encouraged me to become a global citizen - embracing the diversity of people and cultures while seeking common ground. Travel was a broadening and life-shaping experience. NPO or Social/Environmental Cause: I spent my childhood living in several countries as part of a military family.
