The Board of Directors of the National Women’s Law Center, a preeminent advocate for advancing equality and opportunity for women and girls, has named Fatima Goss Graves, NWLC Senior Vice President for Program, as the organization’s next CEO and President. She will succeed NWLC’s founders and Co-Presidents Marcia D. Greenberger and Nancy Duff Campbell.
“The Center has played a pivotal role in the women’s movement and I am honored to be its next leader, following in the footsteps of Duffy and Marcia, who have been extraordinary trail blazers and mentors to so many in the movement,” said Ms. Goss Graves. “We are living in a transformational moment, with potentially lasting consequences in the fight for equality, fairness and democratic principles. Women and girls are facing unprecedented assaults on their rights and economic security. To meet these challenges, our work must be inclusive, with a particular focus on the experiences and interconnected threats facing LGBTQ people, women of color, immigrant women, and low-income families. I am inspired to work on their behalf and honored to be part of NWLC’s exceptional team of more than 60 individuals who are ready for the battles ahead. Together, we will translate the incredible energy and activism of this pivotal moment in our nation’s history into lasting change.”
Ms. Goss Graves currently serves as Adviser on the Project on Sexual and Gender-Based Misconduct on Campus: Procedural Frameworks and Analysis.
