Well, as of 2 Jan 2024, I'm no longer a young trustee - just an average aged one! There simply are not enough trustees under 30. Young trustees provide such a rich, different perspective to those who are, let's say, more experienced. Both are absolutely vital. Trustees of all ages should be actively involved in encouraging their boards to include young trustees. We can all play our part. #YoungTrustees #LivedExperience #YouthVoices

Happy Trustees Week everyone! 🎉We asked our trustees two questions to feature this week: What made you want to become a trustee? What does being a trustee mean to you? #TrusteesWeek #EverydayHeroes 🙌

Judges ruling against anonymous plaintiffs suing a company aimed at helping its own raises eyebrows. The data suggests those suing may be the ones in need of assistance. Black women supporting black women is crucial. “The panel also ruled that the plaintiffs, who were not identified by name” Anonymous bullies suing a company aimed at helping its own because data shows they are the ones who need help Black women helping black women. Remember, Black Wall Street was built because racists told us we could not have what they have and get it ourselves. So we went and built our own. And then the racists burned it down anyway. They many not be able to come in and burn it down in the same physical manner, but by abusing the power of law, the ideal is the same. History shows how systemic racism has tried to hinder progress, but resilience prevails. #BlackWomenSupportingBlackWomen #Resilience #Justice #SocialTalk #Faculty #Professor #afroamerican #CRT #americanhistory #ushistory #banned #criticalracetheory #Blackpeople #Black #blackhistory #historylovers #DoddsEducates #dei #diversitymatters #UnitedStates #USA #UnitedStatesOfAmerica #Polialertcom #segregation #intergration #Education #FearlessFund

LEFTIST FOUNDATION'S RENT-A-RINOS Includes Former Paul Ryan Staffer John Arnold is “angling to be the next George Soros and conservatives need to be on guard.” - Thomas Jones, president of the American Accountability Foundation, a conservative watchdog group. By FRED LUCAS, The Daily Signal A company run by a liberal billionaire dubbed by some as the “next George Soros” employs former senior Republican staffers on Capitol Hill in what a watchdog group warns is an effort to sway GOP lawmakers to move to the left. Arnold Ventures LLC is a private company founded by left-leaning philanthropists John Arnold and his wife Laura, who have a net worth of $3.3 billion, according to Forbes. Arnold Ventures says it focuses on issues such as criminal justice reform, prescription drug prices, contraception, and tax policy geared at “minimizing injustice.” Most prominently, Arnold Ventures employs three well-connected Republicans: —George Callas, who was a senior staffer for former House Speaker Paul Ryan, the Wisconsin Republican who was the GOP’s 2012 vice presidential nominee. —Kevin Ring, a former staffer for the Republican Study Committee, the caucus of House conservatives, who authored books on the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, a conservative icon, and was convicted in a corruption scandal. —Andrew Moylan, who formerly worked for two conservative-leaning organizations, the National Taxpayers Union and R Street Institute. These individuals are “rent-a-Repub” for Arnold Ventures, Jones said. “This is a new level of sophistication of lobbying by mega-liberal billionaires,” Jones told The Daily Signal, which is part of the Heritage Foundation. “John Arnold has enlisted Republicans with a dump truck full of cash,” he said. “I don’t think the institutional Left has tried this before.” https://lnkd.in/ebuFBr56

Check out my blog for the Jeffrey S. Moorad Sports Law Journal where I cover Gervon Dexter's lawsuit against Big League Advance, just one example of a recently expanding trend of investors purchasing equity in athlete's futures. Absent a regulatory mechanism providing oversight, we risk allowing companies like Big League Advance to take advantage of young athletes pursuing their dreams. I always appreciate the opportunity to practice my legal analysis and writing especially concerning topics that I am passionate about!
