People in Fundraising ep. 127: Alicea Glover Gaston, Wellstar Health System

With thanks to a great past guest, Jenny Kleintop, I am so pleased to share today's "People in Fundraising" interview featuring another terrific nonprofit leader, Alicea Glover Gaston! Alicea is my first guest from Georgia.

In our conversation, Alicea discusses:

* Development responsibilities in communications and stewardship at Wellstar Health.

* Her service on the Black Alumni Leadership Council at her alma mater, the University of Georgia - how this volunteer role came about, and what's been most meaningful to Alicea about her time on the Council.

* A self-professed "theater geek," Alicea's response to a quote from native Georgian novelist and activist Alice Walker, who "lamented that she lacked role models of enough Black female writers who could serve as exemplars and inspirations as [Alice] tried to perceive her world and tell her stories." Alicea shares what art has moved her, and who has served as "exemplars and inspirations" in her life and career, including activist Charlayne Hunter-Galt.

Thank you for an outstanding and insightful conversation, Alicea! I am excited to share your reflections and thoughts with our audience.
