ABOUT KEN L.
I have 20 years of experience in Bay Area non-profits, currently with GLIDE Foundation and GLIDE Memorial Church, and before that four years at the San Francisco – Marin Food Bank. Previous to the Food Bank, I worked in the arts for over a decade at organizations as diverse as the Jewish Film Institute, Smuin Ballet, and San Francisco Playhouse where I helped secure the company\'s first million-dollar pledge and raised funds to usher in 14 World Premieres and 11 commissions. Prior to joining San Francisco Playhouse, I was Communications Director at Berkeley Playhouse and oversaw a rebranding campaign and facilitated a national social media campaign. At 42nd Street Moon, I helped produce the American Premiere of Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein\'s lost musical, Three Sisters, as well as Moon\'s first ever World Premiere, Murder for Two. I am a fifth-generation San Franciscan and I holds degrees in Psychology and Political Science from UCLA.
