As Chairwoman of the Board for the Acts 20:35 Foundation I lead with a servant’s heart, guided by the biblical principle from Acts 20:35: “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” As the highest-ranking member of the board, I am responsible for steering the organization toward its mission of fostering generosity, compassion, and service. I oversee governance, provide strategic direction, and champion the foundation’s vision to transform lives and communities through faith-inspired service and giving with a deliberate priority focus on Christian principles and the safety, health, and education of women and children in Louisiana (so far).

• Strategic Vision: I collaborate with board members and the executive team to develop and refine long-term strategies, setting goals to expand outreach, support the needy, and promote a culture of generosity.
• Oversight: I monitor the foundation’s financial health, program effectiveness, and compliance with legal and ethical standards, ensuring transparency and accountability.
• Advocacy & Representation: I serve as the primary spokesperson, representing the Acts 20:35 Foundation to donors, partners, and the public, amplifying its mission through community engagement and partnerships.

• Fundraising Support: I partner with the executive director and development team to cultivate donor relationships, secure funding, and drive initiatives that sustain and grow the foundation’s impact.
• Mission Alignment: I ensure all activities and decisions reflect the biblical foundation of Acts 20:35, integrating faith, compassion, and practical action to uplift the weak and empower communities.

• Leadership Experience: Proven track record in leadership roles, nonprofit governance, with a demonstrated ability to guide teams with vision, integrity, and humility.
• Commitment to Faith: Deep understanding of and alignment with Christian principles, particularly the servant-hearted ethos of Acts 20:35, and a passion for living out faith through action.
• Strategic Thinking: Ability to craft and execute strategic plans, balancing long-term vision with practical, measurable outcomes.
• Communication Skills: Exceptional verbal and written communication, with the ability to inspire donors, volunteers, and stakeholders while representing the foundation with grace and authenticity.
• Financial Acumen: Experience overseeing budgets, financial reports, and resource allocation to ensure organizational sustainability.
• Collaborative Spirit: A team-oriented approach, with a knack for building relationships, mentoring others, and fostering unity in pursuit of a shared mission.
• Education: 8 degrees (so far) in healthcare administration, public health, chemistry, education (2), theology, missions, kinesiology, and Christian leadership (doctorate anticipated May 2026), providing a solid foundation for leadership of faith-based organizations.

As Chairwoman, I lead a mission-driven organization rooted in the transformative power of giving. My leadership shapes the Acts 20:35 Foundation, bringing hope, resources, and Christ’s love to those in need

with a deliberate priority focus on Christian principles and the safety, health, and education of women and children in Louisiana (so far). We strive to leave a lasting legacy of compassion and service.
