Kelly Brotzman is the Executive Director of Prison Book Program (PBP), a nonprofit organization founded in 1972 which supports people in prisons and jails across the country by sending them free, high-quality books and reading materials that match their specific needs and interests. Under Kelly's leadership, PBP has grown tremendously, holding nearly 200 volunteer sessions per year and expanding to serve incarcerated readers in all 50 states. Her passion for connecting people inside and outside the American prison system comes from her experiences teaching college classes in prisons and volunteering with incarcerated people.

Prior to joining PBP, Kelly spent 20 years in higher education. She directed service learning and social justice programs and taught courses about inequality. Kelly has a PhD in social ethics from the University of Chicago. In her free time, she likes looking at contemporary art and antiques and being outside, preferably with dogs.
