Dr. Michael McAfee leads PolicyLink, a national research and action institute advancing racial and economic equity by lifting up what works. He is responsible for achieving the result of all people in America participating in a flourishing multiracial democracy, prospering in an equitable economy, and living in a thriving community of opportunity.
During his time at PolicyLink, McAfee has played a leadership role in securing Promise Neighborhoods as a permanent federal program, led efforts to improve outcomes for more than 300,000 children, and facilitated the investment of billions of dollars in neighborhoods of concentrated poverty. He is the catalyst for a new and growing body of work—corporate racial equity—which includes the first comprehensive tool to guide private-sector companies in assessing and actively promoting equity in every aspect of their company’s value chain.
