2.20.2019

LISC NYC is proud to announce that Community Development Officer Grace Chung has been named a 2019-2020 PLACES Fellow! She is among 16 exemplary leaders from around the country who were selected through a competitive process to embark on a year-long curriculum focusing on race, equity and inclusion. Over the next year, Grace and other PLACES Fellows will travel throughout the country to talk to local change agents who are leading the transformation of marginalized communities. She will bring back tools, knowledge and grantmaking best practices for achieving equitable and inclusive outcomes in communities across New York City and beyond.

We are thrilled that Grace has been selected for this honor and look forward to hearing about the ideas she brings back from her journeys as a PLACES Fellow!
