Never Underestimate the Power of Hope

Meet our Board

Christene M. Ertl

I’m Christene M. Ertl, a business and real estate attorney, and I’ve had the honor of serving on the board of directors for Hopefull Handbags Global from the very beginning. Being part of this incredible organization has been a journey close to my heart, and I’m deeply passionate about the work we do to support survivors of domestic abuse.

Located near the main headquarters of Hopefull Handbags, I’m fortunate to be able to volunteer my time and talents in various ways, contributing to the mission of providing resources and hope to women and children in need. Whether through legal guidance, strategic planning, or hands-on support, I’m committed to using my skills to help the organization thrive and make a lasting impact.

I’ve seen firsthand the difference Hopefull Handbags make in the lives of survivors, and being part of this cause gives me a sense of purpose. It’s incredibly fulfilling to work alongside a team that shares the same vision of empowering women to rebuild their lives and create a future full of hope and opportunity.
