Planning Team
Angie Ham 
Angie is one of the three original co-creators of the annual Humanizing Work event. She brings over 20 years of professional experience across fields including biotechnology, higher education, non-profit interest groups, and most recently, overseeing operations at Agile For All. While the fields are varied, the work within them has been the same: building systems, process, programs, events, community, and culture. While Angie is usually found working behind the scenes to make things happen, she is most excited by being a part of cultivating environments where individuals and communities grow.
Outside of work, Angie is a die hard fan of the Die Hard movie franchise, volunteers with several lovely groups and causes, enjoys storytelling through photography, and longs to smoosh her face into the faces of all the puppies in the world (young and old).
Laura Hamilton
Laura has been a lifelong proponent of community building. She has consistently worked to support organizational infrastructure by connecting, seeing, and listening to people. With over 15 years of operations experience in both non-profit and for-profit spaces, she has a keen sense of how to create and implement operational efficiency based on feedback from internal personnel, external partners, and customers. Like a true-crime detective, Laura observes spoken and unspoken organizational dynamics to pinpoint opportunities for process improvement.
After work hours, Laura can be found honing her detective skills when reading crime fiction novels or listening to true-crime podcasts. She also enjoys scenic walks with her two pups, Zara and Jazz, and spending quality time with family and friends.
