Board of directors
MELINDA HUPP
President
I currently work for Special School District as an associate behavior analyst. I have 15 years of experience in special education and my passion is helping children with special needs lead rewarding and enriching lives. My hope for Anna's Army is that we can continue Anna's legacy of spreading love, joy and friendship by providing better access to play and leisure activities for children with physical disabilities.

As a mom of two with a background in special education, I care deeply about children and am passionate about helping all kids enjoy life and do what children MUST do--play and have fun!
