Our Team Leaders

  • Scott Brown

    Hope Collaborative • Executive Director

    Scott came to us with over 25 years of experience in non-profit leadership and community engagement in Kentucky and Ohio. Each of the three organizations he led by design became significantly more diverse under his leadership. This diversity traversed age-related, ethnic, academic, and economic boundaries. Scott believes that unity, rather than uniformity, has the greatest potential to spill into our communities and impact the world. He has additionally served in church leadership, lending his support to churches and non-profits within the communities he has lived in and around the world. Scott enjoys spending time with his wife, Debbie, their two children, and their spouses.

    "Transformation of communities starts with a consistent presence of hope, which builds faith and blossoms into love."
