April Morton is a connector who brings over 20 years of experience as a leader in the urban education space. For the past two decades, her passion for “how work gets done” has impacted her approach to leadership development, program development and innovation. April worked in K-12 education as a leader in education technology, school design and personalized learning. As part of her "second act," April has transitioned to higher education, working with the Office of Physician/Faculty Recruitment and Retention in the Lewis Katz School of Medicine as a physician/faculty recruiter. She earned her degree in biology from Brooklyn College (CUNY) and her MS in digital innovation in marketing at the Fox School. April is going to be working with The Monkey & The Elephant and is hoping to gain practical insights, knowledge and experience in board governance.
