Last night we celebrated the achievements and leadership of our former Executive Director, Laura Shmishkiss. Less of a farewell, and more of a see you later, we gathered as trainers, staff, board, and community members to welcome her new chapter in life. Laura - we love you and are grateful for all that you’ve created and led here at CRJE these past 5+ years! -

“Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle.” – Martin Luther King Jr. | We honor Dr. King’s legacy on this day and always, as all of our movement leaders before us have modeled what it takes to create change that is racially equitable.

Most recently, Michelle served as Senior Vice President, People Operations, at DonorsChoose.org, and then as founder of LondonPlane Advisory, a consultancy that supports senior leaders in education to develop racial equity leadership competence.Michelle is also a proud alumna of Prep for Prep, The Brearley School, and Management Leadership for Tomorrow. She is a past President of the Junior League of Brooklyn and is currently a board member for the Sadie Nash Leadership Project, a program dedicated to empowering the leadership of young women and non-binary youth. Michelle earned a BA in Literature from Spelman College, and both an MBA and a Masters in Industrial and Labor Relations, with a labor economics concentration from Cornell University, where she was a Roy H.
