FSC Board Hires Alison Boden as Executive Director

LOS ANGELES — The Free Speech Coalition (FSC) Board of Directors has voted to permanently hire Alison Boden as the organization’s executive director. Boden has been serving as interim executive director since January. 

“I strongly believe in our industry and the vital work of FSC,” Boden said. “Over the past three months, I’ve spent time meeting with people from across the industry and I am as impressed as ever with our community’s strength and resolve. But from banking discrimination to bad legislation, they’re suffering from an increasingly hostile political and legal environment. We need a strong trade organization to fight for our rights, and I intend to build FSC into a major political force.”

Boden has worked in a wide variety of adult industry roles since 2003, from project manager and marketing director to software engineer and technology executive. She joined the FSC Board of Directors in 2019 while serving as CEO of Kink.com, and was elected Board President in 2021. 

"After stepping in as interim executive director, Alison was confronted with two major pieces of legislation dangerous to the industry and free speech more broadly — California’s SB435 and the EARN IT Act in the Senate," noted a rep. "While SB435 was effectively killed thanks to aggressive work by FSC, threats from EARN IT and other bills remain. Over the next few months, Alison will be increasing direct engagement with existing members, and recruiting new members to the fight."

Board Chair Jeffrey Douglas added, "We are incredibly lucky to have someone of Alison’s stature, experience and dedication as our executive director. We are a stronger organization for her leadership, and look forward to working alongside her in the battles ahead."
