JaImie Hand
Director of Talent
As an independent designer, joining the Runway for A Cause team was an honor. I have modeled, showcased a collection, and explored all the opportunities our organization has to offer. My main responsibility as Director of Talent is communication between our company and its volunteers. In this role, I assist in the onboarding and direction of designers and models for charity events. These include local fundraisers, company workshops, and an annual fashion show. I am eager to help expand the network I have seen grow in my community.
