A special thank you to Kaziah Olive for sharing her story and vision with us! Kaziah is an impressive young woman already making a difference in our community, and we look forward to seeing all she accomplishes in the future.

One exciting outcome of today’s luncheon was the formation of the foundation for a Young Women’s Advisory Board, creating opportunities for young women leaders to develop their voices, leadership skills, and community impact. More details coming soon!

We were also honored to award scholarships to several outstanding women pursuing their educational and professional goals:

🎓 HSWLA Scholarships ($250 each)

Community leadership is at the heart of what we do! We’re grateful to Aundrea Whitaker Crary as a founding member of our board and are excited to see her continue making an impact through her service with the Levi Foundation!

A familiar face in community leadership has joined the Levi Community Foundation Board of Directors.

As Sales Manager for the Hot Springs Convention Center, Aundrea brings more than 20 years of experience in community engagement, strategic communication, and partnership development. Her leadership and service with organizations including the Hot Springs Women’s Leadership Alliance, Ouachita Children, Youth & Family Services, and the Greater Hot Springs Chamber of Commerce have helped strengthen connections that support both economic growth and community well-being.

“I have always believed that real progress happens when people come together with a shared purpose,” Aundrea says. “Serving on the Levi Community Foundation Board gives me the opportunity to build on those relationships and help expand support for programs that are making a difference in our community.”

We are excited to have Aundrea's passion, experience, and commitment to our community helping guide the Foundation's mission. Welcome, Aundrea!
