WHO WE ARE
Abby Leeper Gibson and Anna Michaels-Boffy met in 2013 where many young idealists do - on the campaign trail. With Anna working in the field, and Abby in communication, they bonded over a passion for serving the people of Colorado. After the campaign, Anna and Abby went on different paths to explore and expand their skill sets: Abby to the world of in-house financial marketing, and Anna to the social services industry. Seven years later, Anna and Abby realized that in a disjointed world, there is an urgent need to find connections in order to build stronger communities. They came together to combine their experiences and complementary expertise and bring a unique skill set to support both community based organizations and the people they serve.
