SHOUT OUT to VISIONARY WOMEN in 2019
Original Founding Team
We started MillHouse Foundation with a team of five amazing women; Beth Beck, Rachel Lawley, Carol Beck, Christine Smith-Atkins, and Aimee Woolverton. Each of the founders donated countless hours to get MillHouse up and running. We're thankful for the vision, creativity, and selflessness that each offered during the start-up phase of our organization. We couldn't be where we are today without these women.
