Full Circle Living’s vision is a world where people are of equal value as reflected in quality of life.

She serves on the advisory board for Georgia State’s Andrew Young School of Policy Studies, and is the former Chair of the Georgia State Foundation Board and of the GSU Foundation Investment Committee. Allen's dedication to GSU is rooted in the diversity of the student enrollment and, through their scholarship fund, she and her husband have helped first generation students, in particular. Equipping graduates for leadership in their careers is the reason for her keen interest in the Women Lead program in the Robinson School and the Non-Profit Leadership Alliance in the Andrew Young School.
