Element of the Month: Isaac Haney-Owens

This month’s element comes from San Francisco native and Giants fan, Isaac Haney-Owens. Isaac is the longest-running employee of The Kelsey and the team member who met CEO Micaela Connery first. In fact, they met at one of The Kelsey’s early focus group. Isaac operates on the Communication Team creating and posting social media content as well as hosting a podcast where he gets to interview prominent leaders both locally and nationally. Isaac loves the element “Focus Groups” for its deep sense of engagement and voice it gives the most marginalized of a community. In his opinion, Focus Groups allow people with disabilities to be “a part of the conversation from the start.”
