Victory Fund and Victory Institute announced the resignation of President/CEO Aisha C. Moodie-Mills, with former Houston Mayor Annise Parker becoming the leader of the organizations.
The transition comes as both organizations prepare for the enormous opportunities in the 2018 election cycle, with more LGBTQ candidates running for elected office than ever before.
According to a press release, "Parker's experience as a former elected official, as well as decades of experience leading numerous organizations, will position Victory Fund and Victory Institute to be a vital player in electing LGBTQ people in the years ahead."
Parker takes over as of Monday, Dec. 11.
