Episode 42: Martha Lackritz-Peltier
In the words of the great Dr Martin Luther King Jr, “True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.” Thankfully, we have Martha Lackritz-Peltier to advocate for the latter. Martha B. Lackritz-Peltier is General Counsel at TechSoup and General Manager at NGOsource, where she oversees NGOsource’s legal operations and ensures the program’s continued alignment with best practices. In other words, Martha helps non-profit organizations worldwide get funding and resources that are desperately needed by ensuring strict oversight, and understanding of, the tax and legal implications in these complicated transactions. As an expert in tax law, as well as NGO guidelines, Martha is able to connect beneficiaries with donors... providing much needed guidance and support. Angela and Martha discuss social justice and the obligation of the legal profession to advocate for good.
