Andrew Needham
Presidential Precinct Logomark in White

Andrew Needham

Director of Communications

In work and in everyday life, Andrew loves to ask, “Where are you from? What’s next? Who would you like to be?” Every communications project is a chance to join someone’s journey for a little while and help them discover their next step, and Andrew enjoys collaborating with his teammates to serve in that way. He shows up with curiosity, openness, and more than a decade of experience in nonprofit communications, donor relations, marketing, and education.

At the Presidential Precinct, Andrew helps tell the stories of our alumni, share updates about our programs, and invite the broader community to get involved.

On a perfect day, you’d find him in the garden in the early morning and, later, in a café-bookshop with his family, a hot drink, and plenty of time to read, write, nap, and play a long board game.
