Our Past Leadership
Thanks to the efforts of our former Cabinet and Leadership Council, the initial vision and structure of FLOURISH St. Louis was developed and then evolved into FLOURISH 2.0. We are grateful for the foundational work these two groups did to provide strategic direction and oversight for FLOURISH's growth.
