Elyse is a longtime community foundation communications leader, Georgia Communications Hall of Fame inductee, and self-described scrappy entrepreneur. 

She works with Turn Two clients nationwide — leaders who, like her, understand the pace and high stakes of speaking to donors, nonprofits, civic partners, and neighborhood residents, often all at once, while proving their values match their actions. 

Elyse spent more than a decade as Vice President of Marketing and Communications at the Community Foundation for Greater Atlanta, where she helped lead an integrated strategy that doubled the foundation’s assets and giving in five years, positioning it as one of the nation’s largest. She also co-built and sold a marketing and PR agency serving Fortune 500 clients, including AT&T, Disney, and HD Supply. 

Elyse holds the Accreditation in Public Relations and was inducted into PRSA's College of Fellows in 2022 (a distinction held by fewer than 3% of the association's membership). She served as president of PRSA Georgia and on the advisory boards of the Community Foundation Awareness Initiative and The Communications Network. 

Her work is grounded in the principle that doing good and doing well are not competing goals. They're inextricably linked.
