Praise for Amy

“I have had the honor of working with Amy for five years through the McDowell County Health Coalition and the West Marion Community Forum, Inc. We have joined our hands on several grassroots projects and community initiatives over the years. Having her as a partner and collaborator has resulted in the success of so many of our community initiatives. She is a natural leader, convener and connector and has made a huge impact on my leadership over the years. She brings integrity and intelligence to her work, and I believe her overall presence has positively impacted the community engagement work in McDowell County for years to come.”

— Dawna Goode-Ledbetter, West Marion Community Forum, Inc. Board Chair

“Really thought provoking and helped us all get a clearer vision about what could be. Just lovely.”

— Heather Edwards, Project Developer

She uses both research and evidence-based methods in her approach, but has a knack for adapting processes to meet the unique needs of organizations and ensuring that processes are equitable and best serve her clients' desired outcomes.”

— Kathryn Gaasch, Program Director at Rural Forward

“Amy is a professional, empathetic and encouraging coach. She asks powerful questions and has helped me break out of old patterns and think about my career in new ways. I highly recommend Amy as a coach, especially if you are feeling stuck in any aspect of your work.”

— Jenn Lavelle, Communications Associate Director

“Amy Haynes is a visionary and results-oriented leader in the field of social justice and community development. She has been an instrumental partner to my consulting firm in supporting health equity initiatives in rural communities in western North Carolina. She partners with leaders to bring out their best ideas and strategies for solutions to food insecurity, health equity, and leadership development. I love her facilitation style - she brings so much good energy to this role, making it easy for ideas to generate and collaborations to take flight. I highly recommend her as a partner in your work for social change!”
