VESTAVIA HILLS, AL — Leadership Vestavia Hills has unveiled its newest members, as 24 civic and business leaders in the community make up the 2021-22 class. Leadership Vestavia Hills began in 1996 as the brainchild of Dennis Anderson. While he served as a leader in the Vestavia Hills Rotary Club and his wife Karen served as a leader in the Vestavia Hills Chamber of Commerce, they each became frustrated with their personal lack of knowledge of the scope of community organization and resources. The Andersons were confident about the leadership talent that existed within the city limits, but the question remained as to how citizens of Vestavia Hills might be gathered together for the purpose of leveraging their knowledge, skills, and capabilities to benefit the community. The 2021-22 class consists of: Ty Arendall, Principal at Dolly Ridge Elementary SchoolRyan Blackenburg, VP of Corporate Banking for Bryant BankLisa Booher, Run Coach with Resolute RunningAmanda Carmichael, Senior Consultant with Clarus ConsultingWill Connor, VP/Financial Planning for Meld FinancialKimberly Cook, City Councilor for the City of Vestavia HillsNick D'Alessandro, Director of Finance for Birmingham OrthodonticsJeremy Deal, Partner/Structural Engineer for Barnett Jones Wilson StructuralGreg Dunaway, Consumer Bank Retail Manager for SouthState BankMeredith Gay, SVP Finance/Controller for Highland CapitalKatherine Gorham, PTO Council President; President of the Vestavia Hills Parks and Recreation Foundation BoardAmy Hazelton, Workplace Ethics & Concerns Manager for Southern Company ServicesCole Hendon, SVP/COO of Credit Products for Regions BankReese Kincaid, Managing Director for Oakworth Capital BankDanny Marshall, Partner with Strickland TradingPatrick Martin, Assistant Superintendent of Operations and Service for Vestavia Hills City SchoolsJay McFarland, Commercial Optimization and Trading Manager for Southern Power CompanyLori Moler, VP of Customer Service for Children's of AlabamaRyan Nast, VP/Financial Advisor for Regions BankAimee Rainey, Assistant Superintendent of Teaching and Learning for Vestavia Hills City SchoolsScott Stevens, CPA for BMSS AdvisorsRoss Swenson, Commercial Relationship Manager for Regions BankSteve Vickery, Senior VP for Truist BankMitchell Weyandt, VP of Business Development for Rabren General Contractors
