Meet our board

Strategies for Justice's (SFJ) board is made up of volunteers who guide and support the organization. The board offers strategic direction, expert, and insights to help organizations navigate challenges and seize opportunities, all without the formal governance responsibilities of a traditional board of directors.

Leslie Laing

“My commitment is emboldened by Bryan Stevenson who says we must be hopeful that we can change the narrative, be proximate to the issues, and be willing to be uncomfortable and inconvenienced for justice. We have a duty to recognize the humanity that resides within each of us, so let us listen deeply as it unfolds.”

Sgt. Shawn Kennedy, Ret.

“People want a better world for the next generation but oftentimes are not willing to commit to the work needed to bring that objective to fruition. We need to ask ourselves, ‘If not me, then who?”
