Amy Lesnick, Executive Director of Full Circle Fund, has been named one of the “Bay Area’s Most Influential Women in Business” by the San Francisco Business Times. Amy was selected for the list for her community leadership and is highlighted in the “Most Influential Women in Government and Nonprofits” section.

Since becoming executive director in 2005, Amy has used her abundant energy and connections in business and community to take the organization to the next level. Under her leadership, Full Circle Fund have inspired young leaders to become agents of change, leveraging their skills to make a difference.

Amy told the Business Times that her work “cultivating the next generation of community leaders” helps to make her influential. She also cites Al Gore as the leader she most admires, which isn’t surprising if you heard the Vice President speak at our 2007 Forum.

For more than a decade, the Business Times has been committed to honoring some of the most dynamic and accomplished women in the Bay Area business community. A gala event to honor this year’s influential women at the San Francisco Hilton on June 3.

Our congratulations also to Gwyneth Borden of IBM Corp. and Crystal Hayling of Blue Shield of California Foundation, friends of Full Circle Fund who also received this honor.
