The One Love Foundation Forms a Board of Advisors with Fifteen Cross-Industry Leaders

NEW YORK, May 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The One Love Foundation is proud to announce the formation of its first-ever Board of Advisors. The inaugural members were chosen for their leadership, influence, and deep dedication to furthering One Love’s work to spark a movement for healthy relationships with young people around the globe.

Established to honor Yeardley Love after her death in 2010, One Love’s mission is to change the stats around relationship abuse by giving every young person a foundational understanding of the difference between healthy and unhealthy relationships.

“Our extraordinary growth over the last three years is testament to the deep desire of young people to rally around this issue. It is also, in large part, due to an incredible and very generous group of advisors that have helped to guide us in our efforts to create real social change around the issue of relationship abuse. I am thrilled that many of these individuals have agreed to join us on our newly formed Board of Advisors.” says CEO Katie Hood. “The wide range of leaders and experts in their respective fields, from communications to finance and philanthropy, have already been instrumental in One Love’s momentum and we are thrilled to formally acknowledge their role as leaders, advisors and supporters today.”
