Morgan's Inclusion Initiative
Board of Directors
Gordon Hartman
Chair
Native San Antonian Hartman grew the company he founded at age 19 into the largest locally-owned homebuilding and land development enterprise. In 2005, he sold it and pursued – along with wife Maggie – bold initiatives to help the special-needs community. Inspired by daughter Morgan, who was born with cognitive and physical special needs, the Hartmans opened Ultra-Accessible™, fully-inclusive, non-profit Morgan’s Wonderland in 2010. The tremendous success of the theme park spawned other ventures such as Morgan’s Inspiration Island splash park, Morgan’s Wonderland Sports complex, new Morgan’s Wonderland Camp and projects under construction such as the Multi-Assistance Center at Morgan’s Wonderland, or The MAC. These endeavors and more to come now comprise Morgan’s Inclusion Initiative, which coordinates planning, fundraising and communication for the entire Morgan’s Wonderland “family.” Since 2005, the Hartmans have committed more than $75 million for the betterment of people with special needs.
Maggie Hartman
Vice-Chair & Secretary
Hartman has worked alongside husband Gordon in trying to make life better for individuals with special needs. A lifelong San Antonian, she was employed in the mortgage business when she met Gordon. They married in 1991, and after daughter Morgan’s birth, she became a stay-at-home mom to focus on Morgan’s care and well-being. In 2013, Hartman was diagnosed with and successfully treated for breast cancer. As a result of that experience, she became a staunch advocate for early detection and treatment. She is actively involved with Morgan’s Wonderland and other members of Morgan’s Inclusion Initiative “family” of Ultra-Accessible™, fully-inclusive venues, and she also devotes her time and energy to Morgan’s Inclusion Initiative’s annual gala fundraiser and to many other organizations that assist those with special needs.

Andy Hill
In high school when Andy accidentally scored a point for the other team, he realized that while he thrives on winning - sports would not be his career of choice (this came as no shock to his family). The coach trained Andy to be laser focused on getting the rebound and making a basket. Andy delivered on this expectation of his coach, just on the wrong side of the court.
With a passion for winning and an ability to focus on results (he did get the rebound and make the basket after all) Andy started his career in news-talk radio in San Antonio. He attended the University of Utah where he became friends with his business partner and later the two of them got into property management. Andy co-founded Spectrum Association Management in 2001 and, with amazing co-workers, built it into a successful company with locations across Texas and Arizona.
Andy says his core business belief is that most people are good. He believes most people want to be asked to bring their best to work each day, most people want to understand what they have a strength in and when they get to spend some time each day on that unique strength - they come alive.
An entrepreneur at heart, Andy has since helped launch and invest in various other companies across a variety of industries. Today, as CEO of OrangeBox Investments, Andy enjoys building and investing in companies that foster engaging cultures, promote accountably, and champion people being great at what they do.

Chantel Keller
Chantel Keller has spent countless hours multitasking therapies, shuttling between doctors' appointments, attending school meetings, training nurses and teachers on the detailed care of her son, learning new medical procedures, and navigating insurance and community services. After attending college in Utah and Virginia, she enjoyed a very successful career in corporate sales while simultaneously supporting her husband during his medical and military training. Chantel's greatest blessings in life have come from her faith and her family. She is the mother of two wonderful children. During the ultrasound of her son Carson in her 18th week of pregnancy, Chantel learned their life would be very different than expected. Carson was delivered prematurely because of rapidly advancing hydrocephalus. Throughout Carson's eight years of life, he struggled with many disabilities, requiring Chantel to learn and study various disorders, medical procedures, therapies, community services, and hospice care. Chantel quickly adapted to her new path in life and embraced many new roles - caregiver, student, nurse, therapist, educator, and advocate. Chantel understands the unique challenges, heartaches, and, most of all, the pure joy that comes from caring for individuals with special needs. She is passionate about helping families find joy in their journey as they care for their loved ones. Chantel enjoys volunteering in the community, serving in her church youth organization, traveling with her husband, and spending time with her teenage daughter. She has made Texas her home, and she truly loves to serve the many individuals and families who are a part of the Morgan's Inclusion Initiative family.
