Our staff is a kaleidoscope. We recognize and value our differences while working toward our common goals.
LEE’s full-time, permanent staff is around 150 people; add in other types of staff members and we are about 200 people strong. Our size requires us to be collaborative, while our young tenure requires innovation. Our staff come from many different professional backgrounds including the private sector, the nonprofit sector, community organizing, policy, advocacy, elections and campaign work, the classroom, and more. They have one unifying passion: to solve educational inequity. Our staff members possess a few distinct qualities, such as:
- Being comfortable with both ambiguity and navigating process-oriented structures
- Operating independently and autonomously
- Thriving in ambiguity and change
- Sharing a generosity of spirit and assuming the best in others
- Focusing on continuous learning, unlearning, and both giving and receiving feedback
- Prioritizing diversity, equity and inclusion in our work
- Demonstrating strong verbal and written communication and technological proficiency

Avory Faucette
Senior Director, Technology Strategy
I love how flexible LEE is about working hours and environment. We believe in personal-professional alignment and working in the way that best suits an individual's working style and allows us to achieve maximum impact.
Brooke Schwartz
Director, Performance Management
I love my job because I am challenged daily, and everyone at LEE is passionate about the mission of the organization. It’s rare to work somewhere where you’re supported by staff at all levels, and there’s still room for flexibility and input in your work. Being able to work from home or move to another city easily is a huge plus as well!
Lildella Douglas
Director, Learning and Development
Working at LEE allows me to do the work I am passionate about in a collaborative environment. We truly believe that all children deserve a fair chance. I am inspired by the talent of my colleagues and the grit of our members. I am grateful to be a part of the team.
