Shannon Underwood
Director of Operations |
Shannon joined the Alliance in July of 2021. She attended Doane University where she studied Human Relations. Shannon has a varied background in insurance, project management, and legal with a little direct mailing along the way as well. She finds the ethics industry quite interesting and is looking forward to helping the Alliance to continue to provide quality services. She sees it as similar to some of her project management work in that the team’s schedules are as complex as a project! She oversees our CRM Database, trustee relations and vendor relations.
She approaches all aspects of any job with a positive, hard-working mindset, and is passionate about helping find solutions to any challenges. Gallup Strengths: Strategic - Positivity - Includer - Woo - Ideation |
