We are pleased to welcome Shaena Johnson who will support Funders for LGBTQ Issues as a program consultant through the spring. Shaena (she/her) is a former GUTC Fellow and bringings years of experience in philanthropy and LGBTQ movements, particularly in the U.S. South.
Shaena joins us as we are gearing up for Funding Forward 2021 on May 5th -7th and will play a lead role in bringing the conference to life in collaboration with our Funding Forward Planning Committee and program staff.
We asked Shaena to answer a few questions to introduce herself to our network and share her perspective on the upcoming conference.
We hope that you can join us and Shaena at this year’s virtual Funding Forward on May 5-7. The conference planning committee is currently finalizing the conference agenda and we can’t wait to announce the full conference offerings with you soon. Visit the official Funding Forward website to reserve your spot today and to learn more about sponsoring opportunities.
