Meet Our Team

Inez Coquereau Ward believes that the most meaningful communication begins with understanding people. Throughout her career, she has been drawn to work that strengthens relationships, builds community, and helps others feel seen.

She first joined HOPE several years ago in a communications and fund development role, where she helped tell the organization's story and engage supporters in HOPE’s mission. After spending several years raising her two daughters, volunteering in her community, and expanding her professional experience, she returned to HOPE with an even deeper appreciation for the role thoughtful communication plays in creating connection.

As Public Relations Consultant, Inez develops communications that support residents, engage donors, and inform community partners. She approaches every project with the belief that communication should do more than share information. It should help people feel welcomed and that they belong.

Outside of work, Inez enjoys spending time with her family and creating meaningful experiences through food, travel, and everyday adventures.
