Foley Hoag Partner Ambassador David Pressman has joined the board of Freedom House, America’s oldest organization dedicated to expanding and defending freedom. In this role, he will work alongside fellow members to advise on the overall strategy and direction of Freedom House, support its mission, and assist with promotion of the organization.
Freedom House informs the world about emerging threats to freedom, mobilizes decision-makers to respond to those threats, and provides support to defenders of democracy who are standing up to authoritarianism around the world.
The organization was founded in 1941 by First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, a Democrat, and Wendell Willkie, a Republican, to promote American resistance to the totalitarian threat posed by Nazi Germany. Throughout its history, Freedom House’s mission has drawn support from across the political spectrum.
