April New + Noteworthy

We kicked off the month by celebrating our firm’s 31^st anniversary. For three decades, we’ve served clients in professional services, healthcare, consumer, manufacturing and beyond, all powered by a team of exceptional professionals. During our anniversary month, we celebrated with notable client milestones and professional growth – check out some highlights: 

• F+A co-owners Annie Alley and Kristi Herriott attended the annual Counselor’s Academy Conference – this year in Charleston, SC – hosted by our industry group PRSA. Each year CAPRSA brings together agency leaders from across the country to discuss trends, challenges and the future of our profession – often from the perspective of incredible keynote speakers and thought leaders. A Q&A with Dr. Tonya Matthews, president and CEO of Charleston’s International African American Museum (IAAM), punctuated the agenda. “Doc T” shared how IAAM’s 20-year capital campaign brought this remarkable institute to life, and how her own leadership journey helps curates intimate experiences for visitors that honor the untold stories of African Americans. Following her remarks, the IAAM invited CAPRSA attendees to tour its enlightening, heartbreaking and hopeful exhibits – including a deep dive into Gullah Geechee history and culture, an undeniable highlight. 

• We were happy to support our long-time client EvergreenHealth’s annual gala, which brought in a record-setting $2.2 million in support of the health system’s mission to grow key services that promote well-being and strengthen access to health care for the broader community. 

• Comprehensive Healthcare announced the expansion of its permanent supportive housing program in Sunnyside, Wash., with the opening of Vista Del Sol-2 (VDS-2), a 20-unit long-term residential housing facility for low-income adults with a diagnosed chronic mental health condition. It was thoughtfully designed for comfort and accessibility and includes resident access to an on-site laundry room, a spacious communal area, and outdoor recreational space for social gatherings and group activities.
