Spotlight on Caryn Boisen, our Outgoing Board Co-Chair
Join us in thanking our outgoing Board C0-Chair, Caryn Boisen, for her years of service! We asked Caryn to share some thoughts about her experiences with TCDIP over the years. Caryn spoke about TCDIP’s important mission and the ongoing work with WILD: “Without addressing and overcoming the myriad of social injustices faced by Black people in the Twin Cities, we will never achieve the goal of building a diverse and truly inclusive legal community. It has been an honor to lead TCDIP, alongside Executive Director Summra Shariff, my Co-Chair Neera Chatterjee, and the rest of the Board, through this incredible journey. I can’t wait to see what WILD can achieve!” To read more from Caryn Boisen, visit our website!
