Areni Kelleppan has spent many years in the business world while consistently investing in community through her volunteerism. She's served on many committees and Boards in areas she's been most passionate about.

Once her son became an adult, she made the leap into non profit leadership, working for causes she cares most about. A family violence survivor and 2nd generation immigrant, she has spent a lifetime making sense of her own biases and shifting her understanding of what equality and equity actually means to her.

She's been a single parent, a caregiver to a chronically ill parent, a successful sales and marketing professional, a change agent, a leader and mentor.
