Ann Brandau

Ann Brandau writes about leadership, resilience, and public service, drawing on a career that has spanned healthcare, government, community redevelopment, and higher education. She is Principal Consultant at Prosperity Consulting, advising hospitals, physician practices, and nonprofits. A former three-term Wyandotte County Commissioner and Kansas Board of Regents appointee, she once led the redevelopment of a 17-acre Superfund site into a working neighborhood market. Her writing examines identity, public perception, institutional failure, and the resilience required to rebuild after life's most difficult chapters.
