LAFF Elects Two Vice Presidents
Betsy Campbell and Suzanne Siskel have been elected to three-year terms as vice presidents of LAFF in a restructuring of the Society’s governing body.
They replace Barry D. Gaberman, who resigned as vice president last fall following his three-year term.
Campbell will work on institutional development and membership issues, and Siskel will work with the Society’s eight chapters to help strengthen programs and outreach, particularly those on the west coast and in Asia.
The decision to create two vice president positions was made by LAFF’s executive committee at a meeting last fall in an effort to “build a more secure institutional platform to better serve our current 475 members, to reach out to new members, regionally and demographically, and to recruit a younger cadre of former Foundation staff members.”
Campbell, who is the vice president for programs at the Rockefeller Brothers Fund in New York City, worked at Ford from 1991 through 2003 in Asset Building and Community Development and in the Rural Poverty and Resources program.
Siskel is the executive vice president and chief operating officer of the Asia Foundation. She was at the Foundation from 1990 to 2011, working in the Jakarta and Manila offices and in the Community Resource and Development, Social Justice Philanthropy and Gender, Rights and Equality programs.
As reported earlier, Shepard Forman was re-elected to a three-year term as LAFF’s president at the committee meeting, and Nellie Toma was re-elected to a three-year term as the Society’s secretary-treasurer.
