GLCF’s Annual Meeting Features Attorney General Andrea J. Campbell
Lowell, Mass. – Open to all community members, the Greater Lowell Community Foundation is set to host its annual meeting on Wednesday, June 7, 2023, at 5:00 p.m. The event will highlight Equity and the Rule of Law: A Conversation with Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell and will be held at the UMass Lowell Inn & Conference Center.
On January 18, 2023, Andrea Joy Campbell was sworn in to be the 45th Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, pledging to build economic prosperity and stability for all residents, prioritize the mental health and well-being of children, stop cycles of incarceration and violence, and ensure the people across the state have access to the AG’s Office regardless of their zip code, language, or ability.
Andrea served as legal counsel to Governor Deval Patrick, working to improve our education and transportation systems and move forward an agenda of equity across the state.
In 2015, Andrea successfully ran for the Boston City Council becoming the first woman to represent District 4 on the Council. Her first piece of legislation was the Community Preservation Act, which still generates over $20 million annually for new affordable housing, historical preservation, and parks and open space. In 2018, she was unanimously elected City Council President – the first Black woman to hold the title.
“At this year’s annual meeting, we are honored to welcome Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell,” said Jay Linnehan, GLCF’s President and CEO. “GLCF is looking forward to having the opportunity to have a conversation about equity and the rule of law with someone who has dedicated her life to fighting for justice and opportunity.”
The event is free, but registration is required. To learn more about this event or to register, visit: https://glcfoundation.info/3ZqK6AY.
