We are excited to share that Dr. Brian Coyne has joined the Board of Directors of the FDR Memorial Foundation. 

Dr. Coyne has had a distinguished career in the public and private sector including as chief of staff of the Social Security Administration and leading federal affairs for healthcare companies in Washington, DC.  Dr. Coyne holds a Doctorate in Law and Policy from Northeastern University, a Master in Public Administration degree from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, and a Bachelor of Arts from Cornell University.  

He’s passionate about FDR and his legacy.

“I grow more and more convinced of FDR’s wisdom in creating Social Security. I rely on it in retirement.  For so many, it is the difference between poverty and a comfortable retirement. It’s all because of FDR’s long-term vision. I’m honored to help perpetuate his legacy through the Foundation and the FDR Memorial” Dr. Coyne said.
