📣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!
Congratulations Erin! Congrats Jamila.

2moI 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 😁
