Rosemary Smith
Managing Director – Getting Better Foundation
Impact Producer – “Trust Me” award-winning documentary
Along with Getting Better’s Founder & CEO, Joe Phelps, Rosemary believes it’s a great time to be alive, although not everyone believes that to be the case. Could media “ill-literacy” be part of the dilemma affecting mental well-being, polarization of communities, racism, anxiety, and threats to democracy? The Foundation’s mission of building trust through the truth about the positive evolution of human progress supports media literacy education and has produced the award-winning documentary “Trust Me” to bring awareness of what may be the most important topic of our time.
In 2018, Rosemary and her Husband sold their group of Michigan radio stations, relocating to Montana to be closer to their 4 adult children. That’s where Rosemary met Joe Phelps, founder, and CEO of the Getting Better Foundation. Realizing their missions were closely aligned, Rosemary came on board as Managing Director for the foundation, whose mission is to “Build trust through truth about the positive evolution of human behavior”. Rosemary cemented the foundation’s world class advisory board of scientists, psychologists, neuro-economists, journalists, and media literacy specialists. She recruited Hollywood talent to direct and produce the multi award winning feature documentary, “Trust Me” and is spearheading its global distribution. Rosemary’s passion for making things better for everyone she meets and the environment she loves makes her a perfect fit for the Foundation. Her research, writing, networking, and communication skills are assets used to drive the documentary project forward and bring others onboard.
