Christine Anderson, Director of Foundation Relations

We are very happy to announce that Christine Anderson has joined us as our Director of Foundation Relations. For those of you who have been with SOPA for a while, you’ll remember Christine. She’s returning to the position after a brief hiatus, during which she gained experience in government grants management, and made contacts in government as well. We will be the beneficiaries of those things, as well as the 10½ year experience she’s had working at SOPA.
