The second annual Executive-in-Residence program features Fran Hutchins (Hutch), who is executive director at Equality Federation, the national strategic partner to state-based organizations working to win equality in the communities we call home. They have been with Equality Federation since 2012 and have worked on the ground with our partners to build strong organizations, develop tailored strategies, and create data-driven solutions to meet the needs of our movement.
Hutch's career has focused on building a strong progressive movement that changes the way we approach some of our most pressing social problems: poverty, homelessness, education, economic inequality, and discrimination. They are especially proud to have served as regional field director for Mainers United for Marriage, the successful 2012 campaign to win marriage for same-sex couples in Maine.
