Autism Action Partnership (AAP) (autismaction.org) is pleased to announce the addition of two new team members, along with a brand-new position that the organization is currently hiring for. These developments reflect AAP’s hard work and ongoing dedication to providing support and programming for individuals and families impacted by autism.

Joanne Petersen Hull, Director of Development, joined AAP in September during the organization’s A Vintage Affaire fundraiser. With over 20 years of experience, Hull brings expertise in nonprofit fundraising and resource development. Previously with Nebraska Children’s Home Society, she will focus on implementing new development and fundraising strategies as well as strengthening donor relations.

Elyse Gabor has been appointed Development and Communications Manager, where she will oversee AAP’s communications strategy, donor engagement, and online presence. Gabor brings a strong background in marketing and community outreach, helping to advance AAP’s mission and programs.

AAP is currently in the process of hiring a Program Manager for Prosper Workforce Services (PWS), who will oversee daily operations. PWS is designed to help autistic adults secure meaningful, competitive employment while equipping businesses with skilled employees and the tools to support them effectively.

“AAP’s programs address gaps in the autism community that are often left unmet due to lack of funding,” said Petersen Hull. “I’m thrilled to be on the team to help address this critical need.”
