The National Center for Children and Families (NCCF) announces the appointment of its youngest ever member of the Board of Trustees and an award-winning alumnus, Paul Kennedy, Software Engineer at The National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Goddard Space Flight Center.

A 2020 graduate of the George Washington University, Paul has a Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering. He interned first at the Telophase Corporation, and then began at NASA on the Wavefront Sensing and Control Team for the Roman Space Telescope observatory mission. Paul is a brother of the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated Gamma Alpha Phi Chapter, a member of the National Society of Black Engineers and IEEE. He has served as President of both organizations.

“Paul’s personal and professional experience are a welcome addition to our Board,” said Lewis Askew, President of NCCF’s Board of Trustees. “His generational and life perspectives are crucial to maintaining a strong connection with the community and to younger professionals interested in this level of service to the agency.”
