Possessing twenty-eight years of non-profit and grantmaking experience, Ms. Haubrich is a valuable asset to ILSI through her role as executive director. Before joining ILSI, Ann helped to establish and run the ASC Foundation, an organization dedicated to providing grants to national and international nonprofit agencies that sought to promote justice and encourage social change. Prior to her role as executive director at the ASC Foundation, Ann spent more than a decade with the Regional Arts Commission, in which she helped to found the Community Arts Training (CAT) Institute. CAT is a national model that provides training to artists, activists, and social service providers so that they can better implement arts programs for marginalized populations. In addition, Ms. Haubrich has taught grantwriting as a part of Washington University's Nonprofit Management Advanced Certificate Program. She also taught policy classes at Webster University for their Arts Management and Leadership MFA program. Ann still remains active with several boards and projects, while also serving as an independent consultant. Since 1992, Ms. Haubrich has been the co-host of Literature for the Halibut, a weekly literary program on community radio station KDHX, FM 88.1.

 

 

ILSI is also grateful for its generous volunteers who assist the organization with an assortment of services.  Volunteers work to keep the organization running smoothly, lending a hand in areas such as document translation, language interpretation and legal assistance.  Our volunteers come from a variety backgrounds: social work students, law students, interns, and a variety of individuals with professional experience.
