Welcoming Appleseed's New Interim Executive Director!

7/1/2020

Dear Friends,

On behalf of the Appleseed Foundation Board of Directors, we are thrilled to announce the appointment of Benet Magnuson as Interim Executive Director for the Appleseed Foundation. 

​Benet has been a member of the Appleseed family for more than a decade. In 2009, he joined Appleseed's immigrant financial access project as its Harvard Law School Kaufman
‐Skirnick Fellow, and he served as Executive Director for Kansas Appleseed from 2013 to 2019. Under his leadership, Kansas Appleseed grew from a one-person Center to a staff of twelve, tackling ambitious projects to protect children in the state’s custody, expand civic engagement, reform the state’s criminal justice systems, and repair the broken safety net.

These are hard times, but we firmly believe it is also a time of hope. We take comfort knowing you – and the tens of thousands of supporters throughout the Appleseed Network – share our commitment to confront the deep-rooted injustices that are weighing down our society. And we find inspiration in the profound work of the 16 Appleseed Centers, whose community-driven, systemic advocacy is building a more just world for us all.

Thank you again for all the support you have shown Appleseed. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to Benet bmagnuson@AppleseedNetwork.org to share your advice for Appleseed, or just to say hello. We know he is eager to hear from you.

Sincerely,
Raymond Lin
Co-Chair of the Board of Directors

Brian Boyle
Co-Chair of the Board of Directors

Mary Morningstar
Chair Elect of the Board of Directors   ​​
