Board of Directors:
The Kynock Foundation is an entirely volunteer-run organization, helmed by a group of dedicated board members:
Brendan Kennedy, Board Chair

Since then, Brendan has spent over a decade working with political candidates and public service agencies to create compelling social narratives, design durable team structures, and more richly engage the communities they serve. He is an Irish and American citizen, and currently resides in Massachusetts with his wife, Tessa, and two wonderful children, Bridie and Paddy.
Matt Porter, Treasurer
Matt is a former student of Kevin’s and co-founder of the Kynock Foundation. Matt believes in the power of live performances and that they should be accessible to all audiences. Matt is a former journalist and now works in Marketing and Communications at the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation.
