Leani Garcia Torres

At my core, I consider myself a "dot connector." I've spent the past decade at the intersection of business and public policy, finding and connecting unlikely allies and pairing data with compelling narratives to influence real policy change. I'm now turning those skills inward, looking at how I can help break down silos within my organization, increase transparency and trust, thoughtfully engage an active Board, and serve as a thought partner and advisor for my executive director. This is a new role — both for me and for the organization — and I'm excited to learn the ropes from this community. Fun fact: the longest I've lived in the same state is 11 years.
