I'm an experienced business professional with 30+ years of management responsibilities in small business and non-profit organizations. I have a passion for connecting people to resources and educational opportunities, especially when it helps them develop their servant leadership abilities. I am proud to be co-founder of a Women Owned Small Business, and I look forward to the positive impacts our company will have in our community, and across the country.
Lindsey Anderson
Vice President, Marketing and PR
Throughout four years working a full time corporate job, I came to the realization that I am not looking to follow the typical corporate path. I am being drawn to doing something that can influence a wider variety of people and impact people in my generation in a meaningful way. Being a millennial, I understand the issues that my generation is facing today, both in and outside of the workplace. We are different than the generations before us and that is not a bad thing, we just need to learn how to leverage our strengths to succeed. Through working with the other members of the UP team, I am hoping to help others to improve their professional and personal lives to make the world a better place.
Ron Crawford
Director, Consulting Services
Leadership is my passion. Innovation and Creation are my drivers. My mission is helping others maximize their potential, realizing that great teams are the foundation of success in anything that has meaning and impact. For 20 years I have been focusing my leadership energy towards a relatively small domain, I'm looking now to expand that impact on a larger scale, and with greater purpose. My message centers around empathy, inclusiveness, service, and leveraging the strengths of all teammates. Times of great challenge call for great leadership, let's make the world a better place!
