Rich Leimsider joined Echoing Green in March 2010. As Director of Fellow and Alumni Programs he works with a team to find promising social entrepreneurs and support them throughout their careers. Prior to Echoing Green, Rich was the Director of the Aspen Institute’s Center for Business Education where he helped hundreds of MBA programs around the world better integrate social and environmental issues.

Before that, Rich did a stint as a social entrepreneur (and was a two-time applicant for an Echoing Green Fellowship!). He planned, launched, grew, and ultimately closed down a new sort of civic association for Americans who had participated in full-time service programs. He has also worked with Habitat for Humanity, City Year, Teach For America, and served as a New York City Urban Fellow.

Rich is a graduate of NYC public schools, Williams College, Harvard Business School, and made it most of the way through an MSW at the University of Texas.
