Anne Olson
Anne Olson is so happy to be in Waco -- her hometown -- after 17 years away. Most recently, she resided in Denver. Anne's lifelong passion for advocacy led her to pursue a master's degree in social work. Now, she focused much of her energy on collaboratively working to better the education system as Director of State Advocacy for KnowledgeWorks, a national organization based in Cincinnati, Ohio. Anne serves on the Board of Directors at Art Center Waco and can often be found bopping around town with friends and family, her two pups in tow.
