April’s legacy of results isn’t limited to the corporate environment. In 2010, she received a YWCA Woman of Achievement Award for championing the construction of a new Navy childcare center. April also led a rapid 3.5-year community effort to design and build a 9,000 square foot beyond accessible playground in Bremerton, Washington, which has now served the community’s children for over a decade.
Change agents worldwide are accelerating their results using April’s two books:
