PHI is grateful and excited to announce that Jeannine LaPrad is joining our organization as Managing Director of Strategic Initiatives. In her most recent role as Managing Director of Policy Research for the National Skills Coalition, she led the organization’s efforts in policy research, development, and implementation.

Jeannine joins PHI with decades of strong leadership experience in the nonprofit, government, education, and business sectors, working to reshape employment and education policy and practice in ways that create more equitable outcomes for workers and communities. She brings a strong commitment to collaborating with partners to center worker voice and experience, improve job quality and economic mobility, and advance racial and gender equality.
