Thank you to KNOW Phoenix magazine for highlighting our CEO, Tammy Abernethy, and the mission of Hope Women’s Center. We’re grateful for the opportunity to share her story and the heart behind the work we do to support women and teen girls in crisis across Arizona.
“Tammy is a passionate leader dedicated to helping women thrive by using their God-given gifts. With a background in corporate and nonprofit administration, including several years of international service, she became CEO of Hope Women’s Center in 2013.
As a single mother, Tammy experienced the fears and challenges of parenting in crisis, fueling her heart for women facing similar struggles alone.
Under her leadership, Hope has expanded from one center to six, plus mobile sites serving women statewide. Committed to engaging, encouraging, and equipping women and teen girls in difficult life situations, Hope Women’s Center takes a relational, holistic approach to meeting their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs — leading them from trauma to transformation.
Tammy holds a Master’s in Leadership and is currently pursuing a Doctorate focused on equipping faith communities to address domestic abuse. She believes that impacting one woman’s life can positively impact her children, family, community — and ultimately, future generations.”
