The Philanthropy Workshop Welcomes Two New Board Members

The Philanthropy Workshop (TPW) is pleased to announce the appointments of Milton Speid and Andrew Chunilall to its Board of Directors. 

With extensive, diverse, and global backgrounds, our two new board members offer deep social sector knowledge and leadership as the board strives to propel TPW forward in its mission of accelerating social impact.

Renee Kaplan, CEO of TPW, notes that this is an exciting chapter as the TPW community grows. “As we work to challenge the status quo in philanthropy and make best practice common practice, and as we continue to unlock resources in service of our people and planet, we couldn’t be more fortunate to have the passion and commitment that Milton and Andrew add to our board of strategic, humble doers. I am thrilled to welcome them to the TPW family and eager for what we will accomplish together.” 

“Andrew and Milton bring a wealth of experience to our board as well as enthusiasm for the sector as a whole. I know they will wonderfully complement our group of board members as we support the growth and development of TPW,” shared Lisa Wolverton, Chair of the TPW Board of Directors.

Please join us in wishing our new board members a warm welcome to TPW.
