The same year the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship named Annie the teacher of the year.Beyond the workday Annie serves on the boards of many women focused organizations planning events and fundraisers for the likes of the Chicago Alliance Against Sexual Exploitation Teach for America Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship and Chicago Foundation for Women.
