HMK is a Boise-based, women-led organization that specializes in marketing, storytelling, and community-building. Together, we bring over 30 years of experience in content creation, writing, data analysis, and leadership.
We are storytellers, nonprofit leaders, project managers, & operations directors
While our story began in the sage-covered hills of the Great Basin, we have filled different roles on the local, national and global stages. Whether directing educational centers, serving on the board of local nonprofits, educating today’s youth, or protecting the environment for future generations: we strive to uplift diverse communities.
As a women-led organization with children of our own, we are inspired by the initiatives of the European Union’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals in building a better tomorrow for our future generations. As Europe strides in front of the United States in sustainability, responsibility, and transparency, we aim to be on the front end normalizing impact reporting and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) initiatives in our communities.
