Volunteerism & Localism
Setting a High Standard in Cherokee County
Their business is a big part of their life, but it's not the only or most important part. As active participants in their community Laura and Amy value volunteerism and localism.
Volunteerism
Laura and Amy are very like minded in their services to the community, they have worked in many volunteer efforts together. They each share a desire to volunteer and give back to the community. The three primary non-profits they have worked with are:
After working, home schooling their children (they each have two), spending time with their family and volunteering, Laura and Amy are not the type of women that sit around all day and watch television. No, they would rather be the ones creating the drama.
This is a question they are often asked. They do it by reaching out one person, one step and one day at a time to encourage, equip and establish quality of life to those around them.
As business owners of Accent Home Staging, Laura and Amy desire to grow a business in order to help make a better community. They set the bar high in the business world by regularly giving of their time, their talents and their money to many organizations in their community.
They believe their professional services can only benefit their community. Strong home selling prices create value and ultimately draw the best businesses, amenities and people to our area – Creating A Viable Economy.

Volunteerism
Laura and Amy are very like minded in their services to the community, they have worked in many volunteer efforts together. They each share a desire to volunteer and give back to the community. The three primary non-profits they have worked with are:
- MOPS International since 2002 - 2007:
- Laura participated in a local MOPS ministry working with mothers of preschoolers, she ran the MOPPETS Program (for the preschoolers) for several years for over 120 families. She later became a Team Leader focusing on building one-on-one relationships with young moms in order to identify ways to best meet their needs. She was a valuable Mentor for the women in the program.
- Amy began her volunteer career in MOPS as a Creative Activities Coordinator, teaching fun and easy art, decorative or practical projects to encourage moms to explore their wild side. She then became the Publicity Coordinator and later a Coordinator over the first MOPS@nite program in the area for Single and Working mothers of preschoolers. In 2003, she became a Council Coordinator for MOPS International and in 2005 became the Area Coordinator (AC) for Western Europe, Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi. As an AC, she was responsible for educating, encouraging and leading the 300+ Steering Teams and 12 Field Leaders to be the best moms and leaders they can be through local, national and international opportunities. A fun task that equipped her for today's work in Accent Home Staging.
- AWANA Programs since 2002:
- Laura and Amy are very active at their church, providing volunteer time in the children's AWANA program.
- UPWARD Sports since 2004:
- Both Laura and Amy team up every year to coach basketball for summer camp and during the regular basketball season in the UPWARD program. Yes, basketball! Laura uses her high school 'All-Star' basketball experience in coaching and Amy does whatever Laura ask her to, HA!. They work very well together. Laura has also co-coached flag football. Amy has ventured out and was the first Soccer Commissioner for UPWARD in her area and in 2007 coached cheer leading.
After working, home schooling their children (they each have two), spending time with their family and volunteering, Laura and Amy are not the type of women that sit around all day and watch television. No, they would rather be the ones creating the drama.
- Community Theater: Drama Queens in their own right, they are both regular
participants at the Towne Lake Arts Center, a non-profit community theater, located in Woodstock, GA. Laura has been in many productions over the last few years, including: Fiddler on the Roof, Canterville Ghost and Anne of Green Gables. In 2007, Amy became a member of the first Improv Troupe called TLAC-IT. She is on tour with the troupe to all the schools in Cherokee County bringing the performing arts to them. She also is in production with the Cherokee Theater Company in RUMORS, A Farce.

- Real Estate Staging Association (RESA) - In January of 2008, Amy was asked to be the President of the Cherokee County Chapter.
- American Society of Home Stagers and Redesigners (ASHSR)
