In 2019, Laura formed an all Women Board with diverse subject matter expertise to launch Angels for Change (A4C). Together, they evangelize the mission of A4C in their personal and professional lives. Their passion for guardianship built Angels for Change, created a national movement, and saved lives impacted by the drug shortage crisis.
