Kevin Boucher

Kevin Boucher was obsessed by politics as soon he was able to read, stealing the family newsmagazines because his father wouldn't explain Watergate to him. After being recruited by his 3rd grade teacher, he volunteered on his first campaign, helping Ella Grasso become the first woman in U.S. history to be elected governor. Bitten by the bug, he continued to immerse himself in local and national campaigns, including serving as Co-Chair, Clinton/Gore '92 (LA) and Communications Director (CT) for Jesse Jackson's 1988 Presidential run. Boucher has also had an extensive career in the nonprofit and entertainment sectors, working in Economic Development for the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce, leading the Los Angeles Junior Chamber of Commerce and the Greater Los Angeles Special Olympics. He has produced numerous large scale entertainment, professional sports and public policy events, including several programs for MTV. He is currently Sr. Vice President & Director, HOPE Global Forums, a community of events that galvanize world leaders towards building an economy that works for everyone. In this capacity, he produces HOPE Global Forums | Annual Meeting and serves as Executive Producer of the HOPE Global Forums | Channel. Boucher resides in Los Angeles with his wife Mary, daughters Noelle, Kelly and a soon to be delivered son.
