Washington Legal Foundation Appoints Alison Young as President
Constance Claffey Larcher, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Washington Legal Foundation (WLF), has appointed Alison Young as President. In this role, Young will lead WLF’s strategy, growth, and operations.
Young joined WLF last year as Vice President of Strategy and Development, where she expanded the Foundation’s relationships with companies, trade associations, and law firms; developed new communications; and helped bring the work of WLF’s Litigation and Legal Studies teams to broader audiences.
Before joining WLF, Young spent more than a decade building and scaling businesses in the digital advertising industry. She helped introduce and grow brands including Quantcast and MiQ in new markets, with a focus on strategy, execution, team development, and client relationships. At MiQ, where she spent nearly eight years, she was part of the leadership team that grew the company’s Mid-Atlantic region, most recently serving as Regional Vice President.
“WLF has an incredible legacy to build on,” said Young. “There is a tremendous opportunity to expand how we communicate our work and find new ways to extend its reach and impact.”
“For nearly 50 years, WLF has earned its reputation through serious, substantive legal work,” said Glenn Lammi, Executive Director of WLF. “That work stays at the center of everything we do. Ali has brought new energy to how we expand our relationships and reach, and together we’re building a stronger WLF for the years ahead.”
“Our litigation team takes on cases that shape the law for businesses across the country,” said Cory Andrews, General Counsel and Vice President of Litigation at WLF. “Ali’s innovative strategy, communications, and outreach help connect that work to the broader stakeholders it affects. It makes our legal work go further.”
Celebrating its 49th year, WLF is America’s premier public-interest law firm and policy center advocating for free-market principles, limited government, individual liberty, and the rule of law.
