Each year, the Bush Foundation celebrates and recognizes those who have bold leadership and vision for shaping our regional communities. We couldn’t be more excited for our own Chanda Smith Baker who is being celebrated with a 24 month Bush Fellowship!

“Fellows are working on a wide range of issues such as decreasing stigma and increasing supports for people with autism, advocating for the rights and needs of amputees, providing doula care to people with cancer and building low-cost housing that considers our changing climate and environment.

With the Bush Fellowship, Chanda will deepen her leadership through executive coaching, personal and leadership retreats, intentional self-care practices and formal development opportunities that strengthen her communication, strategic storytelling and ability to influence change beyond formal organizational roles.”
