Nonprofit Update with Kyra Kazantzis

Join us for our monthly luncheon when we welcome Kyra Kazantzis as our guest speaker for an update on the state of the nonprofit community in the wake of a wave of federal cuts and executive orders.

Kyra currently serves as Chief Executive Officer of the Silicon Valley Council of Nonprofits, where she works on behalf of 170+ member organizations to advance the role, voice, and capacity of the nonprofit community in Santa Clara County so it can be a force for positive social change and support the creation of equitable, vibrant, and thriving communities.

Kyra is a long-time nonprofit professional, community leader, and public servant in Silicon Valley. Prior to joining SVCN, she served as a senior policy advisor in the City of San José’s Mayor’s office, where she focused on housing and homelessness. Before that, she was a directing attorney at the Law Foundation of Silicon Valley, leading teams of public interest attorneys in high impact policy advocacy and litigation.

Kyra has a JD from the University of Michigan Law School and a BA from the University of Arizona. She is an American Leadership Forum senior fellow, a recipient of the SCCBA Professional Lawyer of the Year, and a Silicon Valley Business Journal Woman of Influence. She lives in downtown San José with her husband Eric and daughter Kassia.

We hope you'll join us to learn, network, and engage around how we can make a collective impact on promoting and sustaining Democratic values!
