Bobo to Transition Out at Interfaith Worker Justice: After 18 years as the founder and executive director of Interfaith Worker Justice, Kim Bobo has decided to transition out of leadership in the next six to eight months. “As a parent, which founders feel like, you know how important it is to allow your kids to grow and flourish without you,” says Bobo. The organization is seeking a new Executive Director, based in either Chicago or D.C. “This is the greatest job in the world, because Interfaith Worker Justice is working on the most important issues facing the nation,” says Bobo. “We focus on real campaigns and issues that generate concrete improvements in people's lives.”
