Last month, the Kresge Foundation unveiled their 2024 Annual Report, which featured a dozen PathBreakers from across the country. Our Director of Coalition Building and Community Engagement, Samantha Hamilton, was one of the twelve remarkable individuals highlighted for their work in their communities of creating opportunities for people too often left behind. Named Pathbreakers for cutting through the noise, red tape and all the other obstacles to forge new solutions for American cities. She was quoted saying, “It’s one thing to hear people’s voices and not do anything. It’s another to hear their voices and incorporate it in the next steps.” We are so proud of Samantha and are fortunate to work alongside her. We can't wait to see what the Live Well Springfield coalition will achieve next under her leadership. Read more at Kresge.org and catch their podcast episode that featured Samantha.
