Thank You to Amanda Byrd, Southern California Board Member

We have profoundly benefited from Andie’s deep commitment to racial equity and social justice. That commitment is mirrored through Andie’s personal and professional endeavors, where she has raised more than $80 million to support low-income California families. She is currently the Vice President, Membership & Sustainability at Southern California Grantmakers (SCG), connecting more than 300 foundations, companies, and government funders as they work to build a more equitable Southern California. A resident of Orange County for more than a decade, she currently serves on the Board of Directors for OCCORD, a nonprofit that helps build good jobs, strong neighborhoods and an inclusive democracy in the OC.

We will always consider Andie a valued friend and partner in supporting Southern California’s determined entrepreneurs, families, and communities.
