The Trustees of the William Caspar Graustein Memorial Fund have selected R. David Addams to be the foundation's next executive director. Mr. Addams will take on the role on March 3, when the current executive director, David Nee, retires after 20 years in the position. Mr. Addams is the executive director of the Oliver Scholars Program, which engages extraordinary New York City students of African and Latino descent and prepares them for success at leading independent high schools and colleges. In prior years, he served as the Deputy Borough President in Manhattan, executive director of the Institute for Mediation and Conflict Resolution, and executive director of the Association of Legal Aid Attorneys, among other positions. Mr. Addams will bring deep experience in community development, public policy and education to the Memorial Fund's mission of improving education for all children, starting at birth.
