Last month, we introduced you to Adé Heyliger and Chinyere Hubbard. This week, we want you to meet two more trustees, Kyrus Lamont Freeman and Christopher Wolf, who also joined us in January.
Kyrus Lamont Freeman is a partner and LEED AP attorney in the Washington, DC, office of Holland & Knight.

He is an adjunct professor at the Catholic University of America Columbus School of Law and speaks frequently at programs designed to foster diversity in the legal profession and to enhance the career development of students and young attorneys.
Prior to joining Holland & Knight, Kyrus was a litigation associate with a large firm in Philadelphia, Pa., where his practice included litigation of complex real estate, intellectual property, and breach of contract disputes. Kyrus holds a BA from the University of Pennsylvania and a JD from Vanderbilt University Law School.
