Mary Crowley is executive vice president at Fountain House. Mary Crowley comes to Fountain House from the Vera Institute of Justice, a leading national justice reform nonprofit, where she was Vice President of Communications and Public Affairs and a member of its leadership team. During her tenure, narrative change and communications became key pillars of Vera’s justice reform efforts and achieved national recognition. The robust communications and public affairs infrastructure she built over seven years resulted in major media attention; a federal public policy campaign to repeal the ban on Pell grants for college students in prison; National Prison Visiting Week, which included a partnership with the Obama White House; crisis communications wins; an award-winning website and rebrand, and a dramatic increase in advocacy and social media presence.
