Bloom Parham is pleased to announce that partner Kurt Kastorf has been accepted into the Summer 2026 cohort of Emory University’s Community Leadership Impact Program (CLIP). Offered through Emory’s Advancement and Alumni Engagement office, CLIP is a competitive, four-module program designed to build and deepen participants’ understanding of nonprofit board service, covering governance fundamentals, legal and fiduciary responsibilities, fund development and advocacy, and organizational culture. This year’s cohort was selected from a record applicant pool of 100 candidates.

Kurt’s selection for the CLIP program reflects his continued commitment to community leadership and public service and deepens a lifelong connection to Emory University. Kurt graduated from Emory University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Philosophy and Political Science. He then earned his law degree, with high honors, from Emory’s School of Law, where he served as Executive Articles Editor of the Emory Law Journal. The firm congratulates Kurt on this recognition and looks forward to seeing the impact he will make through his expanded engagement with Emory University and the Atlanta nonprofit community.
