About Us
What is IMPACT?
IMPACT is an organization founded by a group of twenty-something emerging leaders to foster civic engagement, to increase knowledge in the political and legislative processes, and to enhance economic empowerment opportunities for other emerging leaders, ages 21 to 40. Whether these leaders are CEOs of their own companies, work on the Hill, practice law, lead non-profits, on the fast track at Fortune 500 companies, or were elected by their peers to assist in leading their cities, states, or our country to greatness—our mission is to strategically align these leaders to assist one another in accomplishing their goals. Our primary objective is to host a range of events in the following areas:
- CIVIC ENGAGEMENT
- POLITICAL INVOLVEMENT
- ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT
We partner with businesses, organizations, and high-powered leaders to host candidates’ forums, roundtable discussions, lecture series, workshops, and strategic networking events.
Who is a part of IMPACT?
The IMPACT Team originally consisted of our five co-founders: Ryan M. Scott, Angela Rye, Adria Crutchfield, Joe D. Briggs, and Semhar Araia.
