LYNN — Georgia Katsoulomitis, executive director of the Massachusetts Law Reform Institute, has joined the board of directors of My Brother’s Table, the largest soup kitchen on the North Shore.
Katsoulomitis has run MLRI, a nationally recognized poverty law and policy program and the leading poverty-fighting legal non-profit in the state, for 13 years, a My Brother’s Table press release states. In that position, she has helped lead the fight against poverty, food insecurity, homelessness, housing instability, and racial inequity in Massachusetts. Katsoulomitis is a veteran attorney who served in the Clinton Administration as a Special Assistant to two United States Secretaries of Labor.
Katsoulomitis said she is looking forward to her new role as a director at My Brother’s Table.
“My Brother’s Table is respected across the state, not just on the North Shore, for the enormous difference it makes in the lives of thousands of individuals and families who need our help,” Katsoulomitis said. “They have provided more than 7½ million meals to men, women and children, and those meals have been served with a large portion of warmth, compassion, and love. I am honored and proud to serve on its board and help further its critical work in the Greater Lynn community.”
My Brother’s Table Executive Director Dianne Kuzia Hills spoke about the unique skill set Katsoulomitis will bring to the table.
“Georgia has extensive experience in public policy, nonprofit management, development, and strategic communications – all of which she will be putting to work to help people who are hungry on the North Shore,” Kuzia Hills said. “She is going to be a valuable asset in the years ahead.”
Katsoulomitis is a graduate of Tufts University and the Catholic University School of Law. She is a 2004 LeadBoston Fellow and a 2021 Shriver Center Racial Justice Institute Fellow and is active in many community organizations, including on the boards of Lynn’s St. George Greek Orthodox Church and its Philoptochos (“friends of the poor”) Society. She serves on the Massachusetts Federal Judicial Nominations Advisory Committee and is on the Steering Committee of the Massachusetts Plan to End Hunger. She previously served on the Massachusetts Access to Justice Commission and on the Mayor of Boston’s Office of Immigrant Advancement Advisory Board.
