Union Capital is thrilled to announce that Lashaunda Watson has officially started as our new Union Capital Director of Boston!
Lashaunda joined Union Capital as a member back in 2020 as a part of our partnership with Higher Ground Boston. She soon became a Network Coordinator and has been a founding participant, trainer, and facilitator of our Leadership Training programs. Lashaunda has spent her career working in social services and with organizations that collaborate with Union Capital, including Compass Working Capital, the Mel King Institute, Mass Union of Public Housing Tenants, and most recently with Just A Start.
Lashaunda brings a deep experience and connection with our mission, members, and communities. Most importantly, she hasn't just "talked the talk", she has "walked the walk" of our UCB member and leadership experience.
