As Hope Academy enters its 20th year of serving teens in recovery, we’re proud to announce the 2025–2026 Board of Directors—a dedicated group of leaders helping guide the school’s vision, growth, and long-term sustainability.
This year, Amy Levander steps into the role of Board Chair. With over 20 years of experience in state government and public advocacy, Amy is a recognized leader in Indiana’s healthcare and

legislative sectors. She served as Chair of Krieg DeVault’s Governmental Affairs and Public Advocacy Practice from 2014 to 2024, and previously worked as Deputy Legislative Director under Governors Kernan and O’Bannon. A long-time advocate for community involvement, Amy brings not only professional expertise, but also a strong commitment to service and leadership in the nonprofit sector.
Hope Academy is honored to have Amy and an incredible team of board members who bring diverse backgrounds and a shared passion for supporting students in recovery.
