Raegan Gibson (Promisses Board Member) is a Richmond native and graduate of the University of Virginia and Averett University.  She currently works as an Accountant, however, she has a true creative and entrepreneurial spirit.  Raegan is in the process of building a successful business which she calls Sweets and Soirees, a full service Event Management, Design and Consultation firm.  She also has an 8-year old son, Sydney, who keeps her very busy with his sports and other extracurricular activities.  Before her son was born, Raegan was very active in several community organizations but her son's birth slowed her pace quite a bit.  The opportunity to become a member of the Promisses Board of Directors came at a very opportune time because she was seeking to regain her fervor for community volunteerism.  Through Promisses, Raegan hopes to reach young girls and show them that no matter what their background may be, it is possible to do whatever you set your mind to.  Additionally, she hopes to impress upon the community that any contribution, even something as simple as a prom dress, can make a tremendous difference in a young girl's growth and development and serve to set them on the path to becoming a productive and prosperous woman.

As a Richmond native, Davia Archer (Promisses Public Relations Specialist) has invested countless hours of community service through her talents and skills as a Public Relations professional.  She received a Bachelor of Arts in Public Relations from Hampton University.  Following her graduation, she was fortunate to obtain employment in the state government sector as well as volunteer her time with several non-profit organizations within the Richmond area. She specializes in event management and community/media relations. Davia joined Promisses in January 2008 with this idea in mind: "I believe this is an important milestone in every young girl's life. If she cannot attend her prom because she can't afford to buy a dress, I believe it is our organizations' civic duty to step in and make her dreams possible, whether it be through donations, sponsorships, and/or community outreach events."
