I’m excited today to be able to share the third piece of our three-part series focusing on Board Development. If you’ve joined us for the previous episodes, you’ll know that this is a special collaboration that I’m producing with Sean Kosofsky who is commonly known as “The Nonprofit Fixer.”
Like last week, you’re getting TWO interviews in this episode. Both organizations are clients of Sean’s that have been doing some terrific work in the area of board development.
First up is Adam Odsess-Rubin. Adam is the Founder and Artistic Director of National Queer Theater. Originally from Berkeley, CA, he has worked as a director, actor, and teaching artist nationally with American Conservatory Theater, The Guthrie Theater, and New York Theatre Workshop. Adam graduated from New York University with a master's degree in Educational Theatre in 2018 and started National Queer Theater to advance liberation for queer communities through the arts.
Then, you’ll hear from Martina Cucullu Lim. Martina is the Executive Director of the Eviction Defense Collaborative where she leads anti-displacement and homelessness prevention initiatives in the City and County of San Francisco. In fact, EDC has served as the lead agency for the design, implementation, and oversight of San Francisco's Tenant Right to Counsel System. In her role, Martina oversees the collaboration of nine legal services organizations providing full-scope legal representation to tenants at risk of eviction. Martina also advocates for the expansion of tenant rights and the preservation of housing equity and access to justice across San Francisco.
