Why LEO?

"I believe that economics is a people-centered discipline. At the heart of any statistic, quarterly report, or index is an individual person within a family and community. I am honored to serve at LEO because I believe that LEO and its partners hold people at the center of our work. I believe that identifying causal relationships in the fight against poverty is key to economic equality. I admire how LEO embodies hope for a better future by recognizing those who are already fighting against poverty and amplifying their effective work."
