Background

About Samantha Vanschoick

Sam believes that when you get the right people together, big change is possible. She lives every day passionately, which sometimes means passionately napping but mostly means passionately and meticulously infusing creative energy into high-impact marketing and business development campaigns. Her peers agree—in 2024, she was named the inaugural "Impact Business Developer of the Year" by the Society for Marketing Professional Services, a national association. As Vice President of Strategic Partnerships at CIL, a nonprofit real estate development organization, Sam seeks out opportunities to help HCBS providers develop community-based housing. Known as a storyteller and a people-person, she believes that with the right partnerships, we can create a world where all people have access to quality housing that enhances independence in neighborhoods of their choice. As Founder of Self & Story Studio, Sam helps businesses and nonprofits, small and large, with their growth strategies. Sam is a past Communications Co-chair for Dignity Alliance Massachusetts, a coalition of organizations across the Commonwealth that believe in dignity, choice, and self-determination for aging and disabled persons. She is a Past-President of the Society for Marketing Professional Services Connecticut Chapter, is a Leadership Greater Hartford Quest 2018 Graduate, was named a 40 Under 40 Outstanding Woman in Construction by the Professional Women in Construction, and is firmly on team Oxford comma. Unfortunately for her, she's also a Jets fan. When she's not working, you can probably find her at the pottery studio.
