Cecilia Clarke, president and CEO of the Brooklyn Community Foundation, will be the keynote speaker at the Partnership for After School Education’s (PASE) 2015 PASE@PACE Conference on Tuesday, July 28th.

This event brings together hundreds of professionals from afterschool education, higher education, government, advocacy groups and private and corporate foundations to attend 40-plus workshops, access resources and network with those who are interested in advancing the afterschool field.

For more than 20 years, Ms. Clarke has successfully managed and developed nonprofit organizations in the greater New York City area, with an emphasis on community and cultural advancement. Under Ms. Clarke, the Brooklyn Community Foundation has launched “Invest in Youth,” a 10-year initiative focused on improving opportunities and outcomes for young Brooklynites ages 16-24.

She joined the foundation, the first and only philanthropic institution solely dedicated to Brooklyn, in September 2013.

In addition, Rev. Mark E. Fowler, managing director of Programs at the Tanenbaum Center for Interreligious Understanding, will speak during the lunchtime plenary session. Tanenbaum and PASE have been long-time partners, most recently with their World Olympics for All programming that brought trainings and resources to many afterschool programs in the city.
