Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck is pleased to announce that David Willner, an associate in the firm’s Denver office, has joined the board of directors of The Village Institute, a nonprofit organization that serves as a live/learn/work center for single-mother refugee families.
As part of his role, Willner will help the organization shape its legal governance and financial management policies, as well as ensure the nonprofit has adequate resources to advance its mission.
“By assisting with housing, language learning, child care, job readiness workshops and mental health services, The Village Institute addresses the most urgent needs of refugee mothers and works hard to set these women up for success,” said Willner. “I was particularly drawn to The Village Institute’s refugee entrepreneurship incubator, because I believe it is important not only to assist newly arrived refugees with their most immediate needs, but also to help them succeed in the long run by encouraging entrepreneurship and financial independence. “
