SVUDL Welcomes Alison Elliott to the Board of Directors.

Alison Elliott's noteworthy career includes extensive experience encompassing a wide variety of backgrounds: middle school classrooms; large NYC banks; software startups in Silicon Valley; the Center for Social Innovation at the Stanford Business School and more. She is also an author about books on software for children, and has consulted with both nonprofits and companies on this important issue.

Now Alison is bringing this wealth of experiences, insights and perspectives to the Board of Directors at SVUDL. “I believe that the best educational experiences broaden a young person’s world view and help them to learn to think for themselves. Creating opportunities that combine public speaking, analytical skills and the ability to see alternative perspectives, SVUDL offers local students and schools a powerful addition to their education,” she said.

Since retiring, Alison has served as a Board member and Board Chair for a number of local nonprofits including the Silicon Valley Social Venture Fund, Alpha Public Schools, Peninsula School, and Pie Ranch.  

We are honored she’s adding SVUDL to her robust volunteering efforts during her retirement. Welcome, Alison!
