CANDIDATE BIO
Professionally Paige Havens is an independent marketing and strategic planning consultant with 25 years experience guiding organizations in marketing strategy, business development and community relations. Paige’s experience spans both public and private sectors and across multiple industry lines. She has expertise in both for-profit and not-for-profit realms and has successfully managed projects of local, regional, national and international scope throughout her career. Paige loves to take on big challenges and is often introduced as a change agent.
Personally Paige gives of her time and talents on many fronts. The number of boards, advisory councils, and community efforts that she has touched through the years are countless. Eighteen years ago Paige founded Gwinnett’s Great Days of Service, which has grown to be one of the largest community volunteer events in the nation and a true legacy in our community. Paige is an active Rotarian that strives every day to live the Rotary motto “Service Above Self.”
Why I’m Participating: In 2011 my daughter sustained a traumatic brain injury that took our family on a long, unexpected journey to recovery. Her sports concussion left her with permanent scaring on the front lobe of her brain. She now has visual and seizure disorders she will manage for the rest of her life. On our brain injury journey I saw gaps and needs and became a strong advocate for brain injury education, awareness, prevention and treatment. I saw how families struggle for resources and support. I started the New Beginnings Brain Injury Support Group here in Gwinnett and learned that Annandale had a tremendous program for brain injury survivors. I am excited to be a part of the Kiss A Pig Campaign this year to help people living with brain injury and their families feel that they are not forgotten, but have a place at Annandale that offers them hope, help and support as they live with the aftermath of brain injury.
