Wiregrass Foundation

What a great start to the 2026 ExecCONNECT workshop series! Executive Coach Fran LaMattina guided us through an insightful conversation on volunteerism, from turning volunteers into mission partners to appreciating and sustaining those who give their time.

We also celebrated several nonprofit directors who completed a speech training session with Savannah Granberry of Wallace Community College. Their newfound confidence in sharing their organization’s story will benefit our entire community.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and to The Cellar - Fine Steaks & Wines for lunch. We’re excited for a year filled with meaningful and impactful workshops!

We were honored to kickoff another year of CapCONNECT with an inspiring message from Liz Huntley! With more than 100 people in the room representing over 30 nonprofits, the energy, collaboration, and shared commitment to service were truly powerful. It was an encouraging reminder of what is possible when leaders come together with a common purpose to strengthen our community!

Thank you to The Forum-Downtown Dothan for hosting us, and Celebrations Dothan for providing a delicious breakfast!

Earlier this month, ExecCONNECT had the privilege of learning from Representative Paul Lee about navigating government funding. We are especially grateful for his leadership as Executive Director of Wiregrass Rehabilitation Center - WRC and the impact he makes right here in Dothan, AL! His commitment to strengthening and supporting our nonprofit community is invaluable, and we are thankful for the opportunity to learn from him.

Special thanks to The Cellar - Fine Steaks & Wines for a delicious lunch!

Thank you to Melissa Metcalf Le Roy of On Fire Consulting for leading an impactful BoardCONNECT Workshop last week! Our participants gained practical tools and clarity on their financial oversight responsibilities to strengthen boards across our community.

A special thanks to the Board Members representing over 25 Wiregrass Nonprofits who took part in this important workshop!
