The Monterey Peninsula Chamber of Commerce event brought together clients, supporters, and local business leaders.
Three years ago, Envision Initiative began with a simple idea: to combine the founders’ unique expertise to bring thoughtful, practical HR support to the local businesses and nonprofits that help our community thrive.
On August 6, 2026, Nancy Scholink and Molly Lorenzi celebrated that journey with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at their Monterey office with clients, staff, community partners, and friends who have been part of the story. Hosted alongside the Monterey Peninsula Chamber of Commerce, the event highlighted the continued growth of Envision Initiative’s strategic HR services for local employers.
Built for the Local Business Community
Nancy and Molly originally met through a shared love of tennis. When they began collaborating professionally, they saw an opportunity to bring senior-level HR expertise and practical employment guidance to small and midsize organizations in the community.
Nancy brings more than 25 years of senior-level HR leadership experience, while Molly combines her experience as a licensed California attorney with a focus on corporate compliance and practical business solutions. What began as a collaboration on workshops providing HR and legal education for local businesses quickly grew into something more.
“Nancy and I are longtime residents of Monterey County, and we saw the need for HR support, particularly for small to midsize businesses here. As Envision continues to grow, it’s important to us that our HR services remain deeply connected to the community we serve,” said Molly Lorenzi, co-founder of Envision Initiative.
Three Years of Growing Together
In June 2023, Nancy and Molly formalized their partnership and launched Envision Initiative. Today, the firm provides comprehensive HR support to businesses and nonprofits across the Central Coast, helping leaders navigate everything from compliance and employee relations to recruitment, leadership development, and organizational growth.
For Nancy and Molly, the anniversary milestone represents more than business growth. It reflects the relationships they’ve built with the organizations, leaders, and employees they serve.
“When Molly and I created this business together three years ago, we recognized the importance of the employer and employee relationship. We saw how a strong HR foundation could impact a business’s success, and we wanted to bring that to our community,” said Nancy Scholink, co-founder of Envision Initiative.
Over the past three years, Envision has expanded its team, services, and office space while continuing to focus on its original goal: providing responsive, experienced HR support that helps organizations build stronger workplaces.
The August celebration was a chance to pause and recognize everyone who has helped make that growth possible—including clients, community partners, colleagues, friends, and the Envision Initiative team.
Looking Ahead
As Envision Initiative enters its fourth year, the focus remains the same: helping organizations navigate the people side of their business with confidence, clarity, and a trusted HR partner by their side.
