Missi Cowart

Project Development Associate

Why LEO?

"I joined LEO because I saw firsthand as a partner agency the impact of LEO's research on our ability to share how we were truly turning the tide on poverty through our services. I have dedicated my life to serving those in poverty and connecting people to missions they care about. I am excited to join LEO in being a force for good and helping other organizations learn and grow through partnership."
