About Brooks Spangler

Gandhi is quoted as saying \"the best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” I found myself in 2010 when I joined AmeriCorps and discovered a new world of public service. Since then, I\'ve spent my professional career serving in operational, development and advocacy roles that advance the needs of the general public and food insecure. I\'m new to Atlanta - After living my life on the west coast I\'m finding my way in a new place. “Our strength will come not from the sharpness of our spears, but from our willingness to offer others the protection of our shields\"- Simon Sinek Specialties: Project Management, Volunteer Management, Community Engagement
