Bio
Véronëque Ignace, MPH
Since meeting Ami at Arts Business Collaborative in her role at Project Manager, Ami has demonstrated that she is a world-class colleague dedicated to collaborative practices, innovation, clear strategy execution, and safe working environments, if I have ever seen. This is truly rare to come by and qualifies her ability to secure a significant promotion to Associate Director and my peer in less than 6 months. Her ability to take initiative, even in the face of difficulty, paired with her great empathy, make her an asset in whatever she does and alongside whomever she chooses to work. I would have no hesitation recommending Ami to any new business or organization looking to take their current work to the next level.

Ami is a wonderful collaborator, thought partner, and colleague. She is someone who is constantly striving to support others in their career paths and with various projects. She is adept at networking and connecting with folks at all levels within an organization. I had the honor of supervising Ami at Americans for the Arts, where she led the charge of organizing the Diversity in Arts Leadership NYC internship program. She ensured interns, mentors, and arts host organizations/supervisors felt heard and provided them with the necessary resources and support to make their participation successful. I would recommend Ami to any organization looking to further engage their constituents and enhance their equity practices.
