Elyse Goonan is the Executive Director at One Mobile (www.onemobile.org), a Mobile, Alabama-based nonprofit that facilitates citizen-led collaborations and helps Mobilians bring their new ideas to life. Since taking the helm just under a year ago, Elyse has helped launch a variety of new local projects, including Startup Weekend Mobile, TEDxMobile, the Danielle Juzan Dog Park and, most recently, a youth mural initiative that has become one of the Jake Peavy Foundation's signature programs. Elyse is currently expanding the One Mobile umbrella to include a revenue-generating national brand that will become a sustainable source of funding for local community projects.
