Скачать или смотреть Introducing Maurice Watson: Kauffman Foundation Trustee

Maurice Watson is a Harvard-educated lawyer who has worked on education and civil rights issues since the early 1980s. His work began in the office of Senator John Danforth (R-MO) before moving to the law firm Blackwell Sanders (later Husch Blackwell), where he became the partner and relationship manager for Kansas City Public Schools. In 2012, Watson was named chairman of the firm, making him the first African American to head a major law firm in Missouri – and the third to do so in the country. Throughout his legal career, he served on many nonprofit Boards and saw that philanthropy is a way for communities to make systemic, long-term changes. That’s why he founded Credo Philanthropy Advisors in 2018, when he transitioned away from law and became a socially responsible investment advisor.
