Join Ed Corridori, Dan Kuperberg, Louise Rishoff, Harry Schwarz, along with Illece Buckley Weber at the home of Constance and Howard Jolcuvar for brunch to support Torie Osborn for CA Assembly.

Torie Osborn is an innovative leader who has guided some of the nation’s most effective non-profit organizations as they tackled tremendous challenge–including the early AIDS crisis, poverty and homelessness, and health care. She is recognized nationally for her community-organizing approach to solving problems and for being at the forefront of the major fights for social justice for 45 years.

She earned her MBA at UCLA’s Anderson School of Management, and served as CEO for four nonprofit advocacy and philanthropic organizations. Torie Osborn was executive director of the Liberty Hill Foundation, one of the nation’s most admired social-change foundations. Liberty Hill funds grassroots community organizing for environmental, social and economic justice in Los Angeles County.

Osborn served as executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force in Washington DC, the nation’s oldest gay and lesbian civil rights organization. At the height of the AIDS epidemic in Los Angeles, she led the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Center. Throughout those years, Osborn was a nationally respected leader in fighting AIDS, and in the LGBT movement for equality. Since leading those organizations, she has served as a senior policy adviser to Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa on homelessness, poverty and economic development.

She initiated the Mayor’s Office of Strategic Partnerships that implements joint projects between government and philanthropy. Osborn also served as Chief Civic Engagement Officer for the United Way of Greater Los Angeles, and currently is senior strategist for California Calls, a network of 27 organizations throughout California committed to common-sense government reform–including fair tax and budget policy.  

She is a 25-year resident of Santa Monica, California.
