Board Members:
Chris Corliss
(he/him)
Chris has been co-organizing the group since 2015, and has the great distinction of having run all of our events out of his living room at one point in time. He works in financial software.
Rockwell Schwartz
(she/her)
Rocky first became interested in Effective Altruism as a college philosophy minor and animal activist. She has worked in animal advocacy and as the Co-Director of EA NYC. Rocky spends her downtime rescuing and caring for animals, reading webtoons, and eating too many vegan pastries.
Jacob Eliosoff
(he/him)
Jacob’s favorite things about EA are the head-scratchers (selfish spending, wild animal suffering, ...) and the EA NYC community. He works in cryptocurrencies, which he loves less.
