why I believe
I stand in support with this Center in honor of my wife Nancy, who underwent treatment at
Banner in her courageous battle with breast cancer. In those three years of supporting her, I
witnessed the faces of thousands of women who shone the light of hope in their own
journeys to someday ring the Freedom Bell. The staff and administration at Banner are world
class who make every individual patient feel special and well tended to in their treatment. I
will support their mission for the healing love that they create and for contributing to the
saving of precious lives. I will support them in memory of my wife, Nancy Duncan.

PANCREATIC CANCER RESEARCH THROUGH
LUSTGARTEN FOUNDATION
why I believe
I firmly stand with this organization in honor of my late husband Troy, who was diagnosed
with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer in 2017. Lustgarten Foundation is the largest private
funder of pancreatic cancer research, and 100% of every dollar that is raised goes directly
to research. By giving, I am committed to being a part of the cure.

THESE ARE THE tier 2 leadership Directors WE LOOK TO ADD in 2022/23

American Cowgirls Inc. is excited and honored to announce that Renee Gibison has been
named the Chief Executive Officer and will assume her Tier 1 Leadership Team role effective
July 1, 2022. Renee will continue to maintain her role as Chief Design Officer (CDO) for the
Phase 3 development..
Renee’s relevant experience is diverse and extensive having first begun her graphics design
career hand-lettering and airbrushing yachts, motorcycles, and race cars in Washington State.
This progressed into the use of digital arts where Renee became fluent in the use of all major
graphics software programs. Her design talent is an extension of her passion for photography
where her focus is on naturescapes and wildlife. After relocating to Arizona in 1998, Renee
worked with two graphics design companies before venturing out to start her own business.
As the former owner and operator of Vehicle Tattooing LLC, she made a name for herself as
one of the few women-owned graphics companies. She did everything from logo designs and
websites to printing and installing custom graphics on emergency vehicles, buses, semi-
trailers, cars, motorcycles, buildings and just about anything that would benefit from a unique
design or a custom wrap such as cranial remolding helmets for children. Among her favorite
activities are hiking, photography and fine art with pastels.
Renee lives an active lifestyle that compliments her leadership role with American Cowgirls.
While in Washington State she was the proud owner of an Arabian show horse, Sienna’s Silk
Rose, and has always felt most comfortable around animals of all kinds. Her father did rodeo
as a young man and perhaps some of that dirt rubbed off on her! She lives with her husband,
Fred, and their two rescue German Shepherds Savana and Beren where they all enjoy
Arizona’s almost year-round outdoor living.
Renee’s past work experience coupled with her artistry are invaluable assets to the
Corporation in rolling out Phase 3 of our business plan and developing our product line
displays. Renee is empowered to lead all current and future design requirements by working
directly with our manufacturing suppliers on our product line designs and packaging, raw
material and substrate specifications and retail display units. She will also be responsible for
all computer and printer system acquisitions and will establish the onboarding of her design
team at the appropriate time. Renee fully endorses our Corporate Mission that everything we
produce will be made in America. She is already applying her creativity and design skills to re-
imagine our Corporate brand identifiers. This will quickly expand into modernizing our
website and information systems. Renee will report directly to the President and work closely
with all members of our Leadership Team to bring to life the Vision of what American Cowgirls
represents.

Team as she has watched the Project grow over the years since its beginnings.
Shell spends the majority of her time on the ranch working with her horses and her
dogs. She enjoys her leisure time outdoors, hiking, camping, fishing, and training for
marathons. Spending time in the outdoors allows her more time with her animals, and
also to share quiet time with God.
