A member of the Black Economic Council of Massachusetts, she also consults with employers to develop practices that support caregivers and promote workforce retention. Leslie Forde has been a leading voice for policies that will benefit working families, such as increasing access to affordable and quality child care and transportation, expanding mental health initiatives, preserving child tax credits, and canceling student loan debt.
