Angela Grover

For more than 25 years, Angela worked to impact public policy in the fields of healthcare, environment, food security and education because she knows policy change is driven by passionate advocates and information. Two years ago, she left the largest safety-net hospital system in Chicago to start Metopio, which is a technology platform that allows anyone to use data – regardless of their data science experience – to make better, more informed decisions. Angela is a graduate of Drake University where she earned her BA and has her Paralegal Certification from the University of San Diego.

Why I Joined…

“I joined the New Moms Board of Directors in 2016 because New Moms provides housing, parenting skills and job training to young moms and their families to impact two generations. This is meaningful change. The organization is always trying to find ways to deepen their knowledge to better serve young moms and be innovative to effectively scale what works. It is exciting to be part of impact in action with New Moms.”

Favorite Quote…

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one’s lifetime.” – Mark Twain

“I like this quote because – even if you don’t travel – it asks us to know the unknown without judgment. The world could use some more acceptance and open-mindedness these days.”
