About the Presenter, Hannah Johnson of GYV:

Hannah has spent most of her life immersed in the ebbs and flows of a family-run business, having grown up on her family’s ranch in Laton, CA.  That work, eventually blossomed into River Roots, a joint-venture between Hannah and her sister, through which they took the lessons learned from their parents and began planting their own legacies, using the same piece of land they loved. Having hosted her first city-wide Fundraiser at 15, Hannah's commitment to creating opportunity for others has always been a focus. Hannah's greatest passion is witnessing the power of philanthropy to create needed change.  She has spent the last 16 years connecting people and foundations to the needs of California’s Central Valley. Hannah studied Business Administration at Fresno State and lives with her husband and two sons in Fresno.
