“On behalf of the Transform 1012 Board, we are all thrilled to welcome Carlos Gonzalez-Jaime into our organization” said Daniel Banks, Board Chair of Transform 1012 and Co-Founder/Co-Director of DNAWORKS, a founding group of Transform 1012. “He understands the nuances of each coalition organization and the communities that we serve as well as the importance of community involvement in co-creating The Center’s design and programming. Carlos’ extensive experience, his passion for understanding and collaborating with people, and his approach to community building will be integral to our efforts in returning resources to the communities that were targeted by the Ku Klux Klan in N.
