LIFT Welcomes Rael Nelson James, LIFT-DC's New Executive Director

Monday, March 15 2010

LIFT is thrilled to introduce Raël Nelson James as the newest addition to the LIFT team, where she will serve as the Executive Director for LIFT-DC.

As LIFT's newest Regional Executive Director, Raël will be charged with overseeing the operations at two LIFT local sites and developing a vibrant team of staff members and local university student volunteers.  She will also lead the growth of LIFT-DC's programs by managing current partners, attracting new funding sources, working with local universities, expanding LIFT-DC's local visibility and recognition, and serving as an external spokesperson for LIFT in Washington, D.C.


Raël comes to LIFT with several years of experience in nonprofit fundraising and grantwriting, having worked previously as a Development Associate with KIPP DC, and she also has extensive experience as a programmatic manager through her work as a Program Director with Operation Understanding and as an Assistant for Leadership Programs with the Institute for Educational Leadership.

Raël says, "As a native Washingtonian, I am enthusiastic about joining a team of professionals, students, and community members working together both locally and nationally toward the eradication of poverty and the expansion of opportunity for all."
