Abby Leeper Gibson and Anna Michaels-Boffy met in 2013 where many young idealists do - on the campaign trail. After the campaign, Anna and Abby went on different paths to explore and expand their skill sets: Abby to hone her public relations skills in different industries, and Anna implementing and managing social service programs. Years later, Anna and Abby realized that in this disjointed world, they wanted to help organizations find connections and to build stronger communities. They bring their complementary expertise and a unique approach to support both mission-driven organizations and the people they serve.
Change won’t happen until we come together to find common ground–until we’re all in.
