WASHINGTON — The James W. Foley Legacy Foundation announced today that Hanna Siegel, a seasoned strategist and storyteller with extensive experience in journalism, public policy, and nonprofit leadership, has joined its Board of Directors.
Siegel spent a decade building and leading a national nonprofit. Today, she advises major brands and institutions on strategy and narrative to drive growth and impact.

“I’m honored to join the James W. Foley Legacy Foundation Board and support its vital mission,” Siegel said. “The Foundation’s advocacy for Americans held hostage abroad and its support for families in crisis resonate deeply with me. I look forward to advancing its impact and ensuring every voice and story is heard.”
