With her talent for strategy, creativity, and communication, Ashley has led NAMA-award-winning campaigns for clients like United Sorghum Checkoff Program and Kansas Wheat. She’s also active in her community, volunteering for Wareham Hall’s capital campaign and serving on the Manhattan Emergency Shelter board of directors.
