Vanessa Townsend joined Annie Malone Children and Family Services as director of community relations. A community advocate and youth activist, she will work to strengthen community partnerships with the agency and increase its social media presence.
“She was influential in expanding Annie Malone’s community connections when safety conditions required that we transition from a physical to an online annual parade,” said Sara Lahman, CEO.
A St. Louis native, Townsend graduated from University City High School and studied human relations at St. Louis Community College and Ashford University.
