📣We want to send a shout out to three members of our Leadership team! Jamila Edwards, Sarah Knopf-Amelung, and Erin Hestand (left to right) recently completed the Bloch Strategic Leadership Program at UMKC. It is a 6-month active learning experience for working professionals who want to grow as leaders and gain a holistic view of the challenges facing business today. As part of the experience, they created a capstone project using design thinking and human-centered design principles, along with all that they learned from their coursework. The product is a re-envisioned program model that increases individualization and self-determination for each family's pathway to success at Amethyst Place. We can't wait to see their work in action as we nearly double in size by the end of 2024!

I loved being in class with Jamila, Sarah, and Erin over the past 6-months! Their contributions to the class made it worthwhile and opened my eyes to all the amazing work Amethyst Place does for families. I can’t wait to hear about the outcome of their capstone project 😁
