Through her social enterprise focused on innovative products and workforce development programs, Claire leverages her business experience and public leadership to build strategic partnerships between BEST and Bellevue's business community, promoting resources that support both trafficking prevention and survivor employment initiatives across diverse sectors.
“I'm passionate about advancing BEST's mission as a Community Ambassador because it directly aligns with my commitment to creating economic pathways for vulnerable populations while leveraging business as a force for good. Having witnessed how employment opportunities can transform lives through my work at Bellden Ventures, I'm excited to help Bellevue businesses implement trafficking prevention strategies and create meaningful employment pathways for survivors that restore dignity and independence. This role allows me to combine my business experience, public leadership position, and dedication to inclusive economic development to address one of our community's most pressing social justice issues.”
