Laurie Poland joined Hope House in 2019 as our Development Director. Laurie oversees all donor cultivation and fundraising activities, including our annual Benefit Auction and our Holiday of Hope publication and campaign. She has been a Hope House cheerleader for several years and counts herself truly blessed to be a part of the team. She has a heart for those in our community who are served by Hope House programs and is glad to be serving the people in our community. She is also a 2002 graduate of Hancock Leadership where learning about the community really inspired her to become more a part of it. Laurie’s faith and family are the most important aspects of her life. In her free time she enjoys reading and knitting and is a member of Flag City Morning Rotary, Handbags That Help, and Zonta.
