Betsy McKinney

Betsy McKinney is a member of the Women Donors Network (WDN) and became active in gun violence prevention as the Chair of Women United For (www.womenunitedfor.com ), an initiative of WDN. After the Sandy Hook tragedy, WDN got involved to ensure that the voices and leadership of women and people of color would be part of the national debate. Women United For commissioned the first national polling of women and their views on gun violence prevention and convened over 100 women’s organizations in February to collaborate and catalyze women’s participation on this critical issue. Betsy served on the Board of Directors of Bioneers, a pre-eminent environmental and social justice organization. She recently gave a TEDxwomen talk on the need to fill the gap in women’s leadership at all levels of society. She is launching a new social enterprise called The Founding Family, a new framework for coalescing and supporting the emerging new American majority. (www.thefoundingfamily.com)
