Before joining Ellipsis partners in 2025, Hope spent more than 10 years as an association professional. Her association experience included leading training and certification programs, crafting communication campaigns, managing member databases, and developing digital transformation strategies.
Throughout that time, Hope honed her relationship management skills and developed a deep understanding of how to create a membership experience that is as authentic and audience-specific as it is forward-looking. She navigated two CRM transitions and three CMS transitions during her tenure, so she understands the importance of thorough requirements gathering as well as the pain of dealing with the fallout from a bad selection. She is passionate about driving non-dues revenue through initiatives tailored to meet members’ highly specialized needs. When it comes to consulting on association technology projects, Hope’s North Star is finding technology that makes it easier for you to accomplish your mission.
A lifelong Virginia resident, Hope holds a B.A. in English and an MBA from Virginia Tech. She is a voracious reader, an avid disc golfer (who serves as Secretary on the board of directors for her local disc golf association), and a big fan of the Oxford comma.
