He’s known for nationwide campaigns that bring awareness to issues surrounding homelessness, poverty, and economic inequality. June 3: Presenting the Founders of Monday Night Brewing Monday Night Brewing originally grew out of a small Atlanta Bible study. The founders started brewing beer together on Monday nights back in 2006 as a way to get to know each other better. As they learned more about brewing (and each other), they started making better, more complex beers. Friends, neighbors, and random strangers started joining them in their driveway to brew and commune together. Beer quickly became more than just a weeknight hobby. July 1: Presenting Laura Whitaker, Executive Director of ESP Laura Whitaker, M. Ed., began her relationship with Extra Special People, Inc. by working as a counselor and, subsequently, a leadership team member in 2003. With her passion for enhancing the lives of children with developmental disabilities and her specialized education in this field, Laura was selected as the director after the founder, Martha Wyllie’s sudden passing in 2004. She has found her dream job with ESP (or as she says, her dream job found her!). As Executive Director, Laura uses her leadership and management strengths to manage staff, oversee multiple year-round programs and raise funds to run programs.
