Lynn Broadbent

Lynn Broadbent, MBE moved to the US in 1979 to work at the World Bank in Washington DC.  She took up her position with RSA in the United States in 1990.  The RSA-US launch event was her baptism by fire -- the Royal visit for the Benjamin Franklin award ceremony honoring Sir David Attenborough at the Library of Congress.  In 2002, Lynn was awarded an MBE (Member of the British Empire) by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for her services in promoting British arts and culture through her work for the RSA.


Lynn is a member of Dining For Women, an organization which improves living situations for women and their families in the third world; she will be visiting pre-natal and post-natal clinics in the northern Amazon region of Peru this summer.  Lynn has a background working with horses and volunteers with the local therapeutic horseback riding program. She and her husband are raising three sons and various critters including a small flock of backyard chickens in a forgotten corner of Northern Virginia near Washington DC.
