Dear Visitor to Our Website:

I'm delighted to announce that as of June 1st Kirsten Farrell has assumed the role of Director of The Goodman Center. I will remain actively involved as Director Emeritus (which, I believe, is Latin for "Are you still here?"), and I will continue to co-facilitate both our in-person workshops and virtual classes.

In her new role, Kirsten will take the lead in facilitating all of our online and in-person workshops, she'll develop new curriculum to keep our current classes fresh and relevant, and will also be adding new courses to our lineup. She will be the lead writer of The Goodman Center's new blog (coming soon) to share tools and guidance for public interest professionals and help them better connect with their audiences. You can read more about Kirsten on her bio.

Please join me in congratulating Kirsten on her new role, and thank you for your continued support and interest in everything The Goodman Center does to help do-gooders do better!

Kirsten Farrell
