AF Community

Meet Leah Whetstone, AF’s Community Growth Manager

By: AF Editors

Leah Whetstone joins America’s Future Foundation after several years as a partner relations manager at the Charles Koch Foundation. She’ll be responsible for cultivating the nationwide network of young professionals dedicated to advancing the ideas of freedom and prosperity, especially through AF’s 26 chapters across the country. Get to know a little more about Leah below:

Why did you decide to work to advance liberty? I decided to pursue a career advancing the ideas of liberty because I believe it’s important for individuals – especially young people – to understand the foundations of free societies and how these principles can help society, the economy, and our country flourish.

What has been your history with AF so far? I’ve been a volunteer on the AF DC Chapter Advisory Board for about a year and a half.

What helpful skills do you hold that people could ask you for advice about? Wardrobe consulting/personal styling is my favorite side hustle, so I love listening to and providing advice on cultivating personal brand through style. I also frequently provide advice/give trainings on resumes, networking, and interviews (although I haven’t been through every type of interview, I’ve completed over 90 interviews in the past 5 years!).

What are you most excited for in joining AF full-time? I’m most excited about the potential to make a difference in young professionals’ lives. I think AF is a fantastic resource for individuals eager to build community, learn about policies from a free-market perspective, and a place to polish professional skills. I’m looking forward to seeing the impact I can have in building and fostering that community and enhancing AF’s brand.

Coffee order: My favorite coffee drink is probably a plain latte with coconut or almond milk!

Summer book recommendation: Oh boy there’s so many! I generally prefer professional development books, but I think right now my top two summer recommendations would be “Til We Have Faces” by CS Lewis (fantastic and less well known) and “Pivot” by Jenny Blake.

You can find Leah on LinkedIn and be sure to say hi at an upcoming AF event!
