Joanne serves as Director of Constituent Relations.  In that role, she directs pureHOPE’s fundraising strategy, including building our relationships with individual and institutional donors and coordinating our fundraising events across the country.

As well as leading our development work, Joanne is an important part of our ministry team, speaking across the country to women and youth about the pursuit of purity and the sanctification and healing that is available to all of us in Christ.  She is also the team lead for all of our women’s conferences, and in that role builds relationships with other ministries focused on equipping women to find hope and wholeness in their identity as a beloved daughter of God.

Joanne is a member of the Christian Leadership Alliance.  Prior to joining pureHOPE in 2002, she worked for Life Issues Institute, a pro-life educational organization, and was co-owner of College Hill Coffee Company.  She is a Cincinnati native and was married to her late husband, Jack, for 32 years, and she has the wonderful privilege of loving three grown children and one grandson--her son Jacob, his wife Amy, their son Jack, and her daughter Christy.
