 Carolinian. She attended UNC, Chapel Hill and graduated in 1982 with BA 
 degrees in Political Science, Economics and African American Studies. Most 
 of her early career was spent organizing in low income white, 
 African-American, and Native communities. She feels strongly that her work 
 is informed by her vision of justice and that the most effective and 
 transformative organizing is best done in the context of relationships. 
 This is demonstrated in her nearly 25 years of volunteer and professional 
 efforts to bring equity to marginalized communities, build capacity among 
 constituencies that have little experience accessing resources and 
 garnering power for change, and assisting non-profit allies to build 
 systems and structures to meet the growing needs of thier constituencies. 
 George has served on the boards of the Grassroots Policy Project, the 
 Center for Voting and Democracy, the New World Foundation and the Economic 
 Human Rights Project. She has also served on the Advisory Committee of the 
 Catholic Campaign for Human Development and is honored to serve as one of 
 three co-chairs for United for Peace and Justice.\n
