Annie’s Project Co-CEO Dr. Karisha Devlin, is a field specialist in agricultural business with the University of Missouri extension. She is passionate about educating farm women and has been involved with Annie’s Project since 2004.

Annie's Project is an educational program for farm and ranch women, designed to improve women's business and decision making skills. The program takes it name from the woman it is modeled after, Annette Fleck, who was married to her farmer for 50 years. The founder of Annie's Project is Annette's daughter, Ruth Hambleton. Ruth designed the educational program, commonly known as Annie's Project, based on her life experiences as an educator and growing up on a dairy farm in Illinois. The program is based on the education needs of farm women Ruth identified during her years as an educator for the University of Illinois in the area of farm business management and marketing. The Annie's Project approach resonates with women from all backgrounds and levels of experience. Annie's Project will celebrate its 20th year in 2023.
