Carson, 46, served a two-year term as chair of the national Council on Foundations' board of directors that ended this spring. In October, he was named to serve as interim CEO of the Louisiana Disaster Recovery Foundation, a non-profit agency established to accept donations to help victims of hurricanes Katrina and Rita."
