Board + Leadership Team

**MASHA LAZER**

While Masha works in tech as a Product Manager, non-profits have always held a special place in her heart. After a non-profit organization helped her family immigrate to the Bay Area, her mom began working at one, and Masha has loved watching her make a difference. Seeing how meaningful that work remains, especially in today’s world, has deepened Masha’s appreciation for community-focused organizations. At home, Masha and her husband stay busy with their two young boys and dogs. When she finds a quiet moment, she enjoys knitting, traveling, singing, and discovering new restaurants and recipes.
