The Insight Center for Community Economic Development announces new Vice 
President

Oakland -- The Insight Center for Community Economic Development has 
appointed Chantel L. Walker as its new Vice President.

"Ms. Walker's outstanding leadership skills and extensive expertise in 
the community development field will add tremendous value to the Insight 
Center," said Roger Clay, President. "Her extraordinary range of 
knowledge - as a grantmaker, policy advocate, direct service provider, 
and technical assistance consultant - is a perfect fit for our 
multidisciplinary approach to community economic development.

Ms. Walker brings to the Insight Center her years of experience as 
program officer as well as a senior staff member at the Marguerite Casey 
Foundation, Marin Community Foundation, and the Haas Fund. She has 
directed major community development efforts including a multimillion 
dollar initiative to bridge the digital divide as well as having worked 
with the Insight Center in senior level positions. Most recently, she 
was Principal of the Walkeryee Group, a national consulting and research 
firm, which worked with such clients as the Louisiana Disaster Recovery 
Foundation, the State of Missouri and the California Endowment. Ms. 
Walker has published and presented on the issues of community economic 
development, philanthropy, and early childhood education.

Ms. Walker is a member of the Board of Directors of the San Francisco 
Education Fund and the Association of Black Foundation Executives. She 
holds a Bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of 
Pennsylvania and a Master's degree in Public Administration from the 
University of San Francisco.

The Insight Center for Community Economic Development, formerly the 
National Economic Development and Law Center (NEDLC), is a national 
research, consulting and legal organization dedicated to helping people 
and communities become, and remain, economically secure. The Insight 
Center's multidisciplinary approach utilizes a wide array of community 
economic development strategies including industry-focused workforce 
development, individual and community asset building, establishing the 
link between early care and education and economic development, and 
advocating for the adoption of the Self-Sufficiency Standard as a 
measurement of wage adequacy and an alternative to the Federal Poverty Line.
