Georgianne Hewett
Care Advocate
Georgianne grew up in the Texas Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church in a family devoted to service. Her paternal grandfather served as church treasurer. Her grandmother was active in United Methodist Women, and her parents volunteered as adult leaders for Sunday School and Methodist Youth Fellowship. That foundation shaped her passion for mission, ministry, and communities of faith.
Georgianne found her career path advocating for mission-driven organizations by cultivating relationships, communicating values, securing resources, and providing strategic direction. She served three United Methodist affiliated organizations before joining FUMC Georgetown in 2024 – Texas Methodist Foundation, Southwestern University, and The Wesleyan. In her work, she noticed how people struggle with change. In 2012, she invited change into her life by leaving a job she loved and setting out on a mid-life adventure. She sold her car, moved across country, and went back to school. She earned a Master of Science degree in learning and organizational change from Northwestern University (another institution founded by Methodists). Today, her personal ministry is helping people identify what they want, the choices available to them, and how to navigate the necessary changes to get there.
Spare time is an oxymoron to Georgianne. She believes every moment in life should be held like a precious gift whether reading a good book, hiking the trails of Georgetown, visiting with a dear friend, writing (which fits under her definition of fun), or simply sitting quietly with God.
