GLAD Launches Board of Ambassadors
Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders announced today the formation of their Board of Ambassadors - a diverse group of GLAD supporters from around the country who will help GLAD connect to and engage more deeply with a variety of communities and constituents.
The inaugural group consists of 28 individuals and two co-chairs, Liz Monnin-Browder and Rick McCarthy. Rick is a former GLAD Board Chair, and Liz is a former GLAD lawyer.
“One of GLAD’s significant assets has always been the number of stellar former board members, staffers, interns, and volunteers who are out in the world doing important work in a variety of communities,” said McCarthy.
“GLAD does high impact work for the LGBTQ community and has valuable resources that should reach as wide an audience as possible. With this new venture, we can mobilize our diverse networks to further promote GLAD’s mission,” said Monnin-Browder.
