ABOUT US

Meet Our Founders

Amie Smith and Emily Corbitt are sisters who grew up in Salt Lake County with a strong family tradition of serving others. From nurses and educators to social workers, their family has always been filled with people who believed in making a difference in the lives of others. Their passion for helping people and advocating for those who may need an extra voice has always been a part of who they are.

It was this shared passion that led Amie and Emily to careers in Support Coordination, where they have dedicated their professional lives to helping individuals with disabilities overcome barriers, discover opportunities, and work toward the lives they envision for themselves.

Amie Smith holds a Bachelor's degree in Sociology from Westminster University. She is passionate about supporting and advocating for individuals with disabilities and their families. Amie is also a devoted mother of three boys. Her commitment to the disability community extends beyond her work as a Support Coordinator. She previously served on the board of the Independent Support Coordination Association (ISCA) for the 2022–2023 term, helping support the organization's efforts to unite and advocate for independent Support Coordinators.

Emily Corbitt holds a Bachelor's degree in Social Science from Westminster University and a Master's degree in Organizational Leadership from Argosy University. She is married and a mother of three. Emily has also been actively involved in advocacy within the Support Coordination community and currently serves as President of the Independent Support Coordination Association (ISCA), where she helps advocate for independent Support Coordinators and the individuals and families they serve.

Together, Amie and Emily founded Beyond Advocacy Support Coordination with a shared belief that every person deserves to have their voice heard, their choices respected, and the opportunity to pursue their own dreams.

Every day, they work alongside individuals and families to identify barriers, navigate complex systems, connect with resources, and build supports that promote independence and meaningful community involvement.

For Amie and Emily, Support Coordination isn't simply a career—it is a calling rooted in family, advocacy, and a genuine desire to help others create the life they want to live.
