Zeina Fayyaz, Social Innovation Forum Program Coordinator, Root Cause

Zeina manages the day-to-day operations of Root Cause's Social Innovation Forum, which vary widely depending on the time of year. In the summer and fall, she coordinates the selection of four to six innovative, Boston-area nonprofits to be featured as a portfolio of "Social Innovators." In the winter and spring, she coordinates the Innovators and a whole host of supporting actors -- from consultants to coaches to in-kind partners and volunteers -- to build the Innovators' internal capacities and help them define and work toward long-term program performance and social impact goals.  Zeina first joined Root Cause in 2009 as a fellow with the Social Innovation Forum and transitioned to her current role in June 2010. Zeina holds a B.A. from Harvard College where she majored in History, minored in Psychology, and earned a citation in Spanish. Before Root Cause, she worked at Let’s Get Ready! (LGR) and the William J. Clinton Foundation.
