Liane Stegmaier, Director of Communications, aims to be a life-long New Yorker, if one considers life starting at age 18. A graduate of New York University's Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development, Liane joined the Brooklyn Community Foundation in June 2011 after nearly seven years in public relations and marketing at the S.L.E. Lupus Foundation and the Lupus Research Institute. Liane brings her social media savvy to the Foundation's team, as well as a love of biking, flea markets, and library books. She is a proud resident of Prospect Heights/Crown Heights, not "Pro-Cro."
